WikiAnswers uses advertisements to support its server costs. The reason that WikiAnswers has so many ads is because more and more people are using addons for their browsers and programs that block ads.
Also, some of the money generated by the WikiAnswers ads may go to supporting Wikipedia. If you know this to either be true or false for a fact, click on "Improve answer" and fix it by either confirming or denying it.
