#2When I visited Yahoo the other day and looked at the very long list of URLs necessary to track me and to display ads, I knew that the same system without this feature would be a lot cheaper and a lot faster (read: less servers are required).
The next thought was that a paid service with a low fee for Yahoo news, email etc. can be profitable and have happy users.

I believe that Google's cut of contributor is smaller than Google's cut of AdWords. (I did a quick search to verify and couldn't find it, so don't take my comment as gospel).

This is just you buying the ad slot instead of the advertiser. Why should it be any different for the website's income?
If anything, more entities bidding for the ad means the prices can go higher and the website gets more money (though I imagine any difference here would be undetectable).

On the other hand, looks like a nice social engineering experiment in figuring out how to convince users to be tracked better.
