I know how to install it but how do they send the money to me? I know this will sound like I'm a total noob :l...

They track your earnings in terms of ad impressions (page loads) and click throughs. Actual clicks are worth much more than impressions are, and clicks are far more rare than an impression. So you accumulate very small amounts of cash at a time (fractions of a cent, really). Once you hit something like $50 they will mail you out a check.

Well, start by making a Flash, have it have a few hundred thousand views, and then I will consider not clicking your ads. But I doubt more than 100 people in a year will visit your userpage, so good luck getting more than 2 cents. I've had over 50,000 impressions on my userpage alone and made a good 25 cents. You might as well start working at McDonald's.

I...don't understand, does that mean you'll click the ads if he has less?
