I need to step out for a few minutes, but I'll expand on things in a bit.
Edit: Ok, more details. First off, there is one block of Google text ads on the homepage. They'll be removed shortly, as they're quite hidden, and don't work well in this situation. The plan at the moment is to redesign the header to include a search bar, dropdown menus (since we're working in some new pages), and one advertisement. It would be 468x60, paying per thousand impressions, and the only ad on the site. If you prefer to run Adblock, I'll make sure it properly disappears. In theory, that one ad should cover all the bills, and most importantly, help free up time to further develop the site. Instead of the ads paying for publisher packs, I'd use the revenue to build specific accounts for publishers, so they can run promotions through the site.

You get the money from the ads right? then if people have given a number of gifts then they could get 5 dollars every week or something like that.

Think there was a thread on this before and the general consensus was that extra ads would wind up being annoying and probably not lead to very many giveaways from the site itself due to the minimal money that would be earned through it...
Edit: Guess I was wrong, Carry on.

Go on and disable it guys. We already have a small text ad below the giveaways which should be clicked every other Day ;)

It's generally a 'bad' idea to encourage people to (randomly) click ads on a website. Mostly because it causes false interest in advertisements and can endanger whichever site's advertisement deals. Really pay attention to the ads, but do not go out of your way to click on them for the sake of 'helping out the site'

I am all for supporting excellent sites like this, which is why I just disabled adblock. Sadly I saw no ads. Sadness? Why Sadness Worbat no ads is a great thing!
Now while this is normally true, a small banner ad can do wonders for a site, here is why I think there should be some form of ads.
Discuss.
EDIT: I see there is a tiny text ad. Hmm this point could now be void.
