displayed ads paid a little, click-throughs paid more. And I'm pretty sure they are getting money from all of the displayed ads on DU3 - since they indicated the ad revenue from non-star members was up and balanced out the losses from the high cost of the stars. I really can't imagine anyone (or at least enough to generate significant money) is clicking through.
