I think it is earn-per-click instead of earn-per-view, yes. Another thing I would like to see is optional AdFly and acceptance of bitcoin for donation - last time I spoke with PayPal support was not a pleasent experience so I don't use that anymore.

I'm not sure if the advertisement thing sets limits on one click per IP per x hours or something…

It would be nice to have some mod/admin input on this.

Do NOT just click on ads on purpose to generate revenue. If you're interested in what the ad is offering, feel free to use it. If the ad providers detect abuse (rapid spike in traffic from a small number of IPs), they will ignore the traffic and the site can even lose its ability to use the ad provider.

Yes, it wouldn't be wise to do so. Even if they didn't stop the website's revenue your input would be ignore after a while.

What's wrong with PayPal? If you've ever had to do a bank transfer, especially an international one, you'd know that bank transfers are even less of a pleasent experience.

oeed: I might sign up again if I feel the need to, but when I spoke with their Customer Support last, and it might just be the wrong time or whatever, but their level of service quality was really poor.
