I think you asked me this same question last year :)

The short answer ... it depends. Google Adwords ads (the ones with the little triangle in the top right corner) earn per click. So yes.

Other ads that you see here, like our site sponsors, or resorts that advertise here, there is no direct commission, but they do measure us based on our ad performance, so if you see a deal you like it's always appreciated if you click through.

For the rest of the site ... like the Gear pages, the Lodging reservations, are commission based as well, but the prices are competitive, so it normally doesn't cost you anything extra to make a purchase through those links and it helps me do things like run more giveaways.

Does that answer your question?
