How come some sites can manage aderts properly?

A few sites I use, I see ads, I click on them, I buy from them.

Why?

Because they are from companies directly applicable to that site, a forum for x has adverts from companies involved in x. And they are small banners.

eg a model railway forum has adverts from model shops, manufacturers, magazines, auction houses.

OK not the last but "ooh a nice new wagon kit I need that" gets a sale and my click through helps pay for the site.

If every site was like that ad blockers would not be needed.

Oh and I could not boycot the advertisers without getting a different hobby!
