Question about Ads

When I had AdBlock installed, there was an underbanner showing that said that Wowhead received most of its income from Ads. I can respect that. Wowhead provides a great service, and does not require a subscription, so it's only fair to accept the ads that come with the free model.
However, I am curious: Does Wowhead receive money per-click, or simply from running the ads? If it's per click, there's no point in my having the ads visible, as I never click on ads, as a rule. And if you get money from simply running the ads, what does it matter if I never see them, especially if I never click them?
Basically, my question is this: As a wary person who rarely, if ever, clicks on ads (simply due to bad experiences with them on the internet: scams, malware, and other unpleasant things like that), am I actually helping to support Wowhead (something that I certainly happy to do) by simply having the ads visible and not clicking on them, or am I simply wasting my time?

It depends on the ad. Some are per click, some are per impression.
