I have seen references in web-pages requesting visitors to show their appreciation or help by clicking on the advertiser's link. Such desperate methods are of questionable ethics as it provides unwanted clicks for the advertisers, who pays for them. On the other hand they help the site owner in the short term, undermining the cpc model in the long term. And I am sure people who would be otherwise unwilling to donate would love to spread some of the click-love, as it makes them feel good for accessing the services of the site without paying a penny. With Firefox way of tabbed browsing, you don't even have to view the ad contents! However it cannot work in the long run.
