What the advertisers pay for is how many times readers see their ads. They use their ad server to compute this. There is always some kind of descrepency between their ad count and the views shown in your dashboard so you can't track it perfectly. But you can come close to it by looking at the views in your dashboard.

No clicking on the ad is required. But like justjennifer says Staff will give the correct answer, and may even correct me too!!

@arielparonjr - did you look at the FAQ I linked to in your other forum thread on WordAds?

In Google Webmasters it could say you have 9,000 impressions but only 200 clicks. That means 9,000 people saw something about your site when they were browsing, that Google brought up, after they typed something into search, but only 200 people then clicked to go onto your site.

Page view is equivalent to one person viewing your site while an impression is equivalent to how many pages visited by one person.

Example:
PAGE VIEW:
John Smith viewed your website so that's considered as one (1) page view

IMPRESSION:
John Smith visited or clicked three pages on your website so that's considered as three (3) Impressions.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Under Earnings & payment, it does say you can get a rough estimate by the number of page views in your stats and that payment is approx $1 per 1000 page views. After a month with the program, you should see some indication in your WordAds dashboard.

Jon Burke is the WordPress.com staff person who is coordinating the WordAds program. Perhaps reading some of his other replies about WordAds will help. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/jonburke

Also, are those WordAds under "Advertisements" in your site's sidebar (links to HostGator, DreamHost, etc.) or affiliate marketing ads? If the latter, please note that the only advertising currently allowed on WordPress.com sites is WordAds. http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/

I'm really bothered by WordAds payment system and they didn't specifically mention on how a blogger can get paid by such service. They said that it pays for impressions but when asked on how can we have a rough estimate for our earnings they said that we just have to check our dashboard stats... well Dashboard doesn't have impressions' stats, but only Page Views' stats. As far as I know website's impression is totally different from its page view. Can someone make a clear answer to this because I'm really downright confused.

Thanks in advance.

Why do they mean by impressions?
