Actually, i don't think Microsoft gets payed per hit. I don't know exactly, but advertisers probally pay per ad based on how many impressions it had or how many exposure time. But the thing remains, if everybody would disable the ads, MSN ads would have less viewers. If MSN ads have less viewers, advertisers are less interested. If advertisers are less interested, Microsoft earns less money. I'm sure Microsoft won't ever die from that, but it's just a moral thing... Plus! can exsist without MSN, but when Plus! hides MSN ads... Microsoft earns less money from MSN, while Patchou earns more money from Plus! because of his ad-block popularity.
