    Their answers there do make it sound like clicks are necessary, but it’s my understanding that advertisers pay for both clicks and impressions. That’s why everyone gets a tree counter that goes up just for searching. Granted it’s a very small earning for impressions, which is why it takes 50+ searches for a single tree.

      Everyone’s counter goes up with each search regardless of impressions. It goes up even if you’re using an adblocker. I think the tree counter is just based on the amount of searches you did, not the amount of money you make them.
