otherwise it's just advertising the guest advertiser is paying for to the 3rd party affiliate program.

With the internet one has a choice whether to endure ads or not, so it's really a matter of personal preference. It doesn't take a dime from anyone, since it's a safe assumption that those who choose to block ads are the same ones who would never click on them.
