Reply #2: pay per click

[dlfuller]

Typically pay per click relates to:

Ads on a website, that when you select (click) them, provide revenue to the web site's owner for the referral, from the ad's sponsor or owner.

This could also be used as well when you simply view a web page that has ads already displayed, the web site could log page views and report them as views (traffic) for revenue.

If you use Firefox with NoScript and Adblock plugins active you will defeat most ads or redirects.
