I work for a company that made nearly $1 billion a year in ad revenue. Purchasing from the provider is not the only way for an advertisement to generate revenue for a website. Some pay per click, some pay per impression. Does a TV commercial only pay the network if someone buys a product from that commercial?

But here's an idea, if you think this is a good idea (and I'm sure you do) and want to support this, why don't you buy that Cuisinart Blender, or the gazillon songs from napster. I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
