    Their answers there do make it sound like clicks are necessary, but it’s my understanding that advertisers pay for both clicks and impressions. That’s why everyone gets a tree counter that goes up just for searching. Granted it’s a very small earning for impressions, which is why it takes 50+ searches for a single tree.
