What's with the ads at the bottom of the page?

I resisted using ads for the 1st year because, to be honest, I'm not a fan of them myself...so I didn't want you guys to have to look at them either. However, the reality is that as the site continues to grow and use/need more resources, the ads will help cover the cost.

I understand those who don't like looking at ads, which is why I placed them on the very bottom of pages, so that it doesn't interfere with the actual content. 

My goal/focus is to guarantee that we have a home for years to come, and while ads can be annoying, the revenue they generate will help to make sure that happens.

So, we as fans that use this site can actually benefit the site monetarily, by clicking on any of the ads, even if we have no desire to purchase a product?

If this is true, I'm willing to look at a few ads for the benefit of the site and it's creator.
