WikiAnswers is an ad driven site for many reasons. First, if you look at an answer, to the right of an answer there is most likely a 'video partner' ad, which shows WikiAnswers' video partners. Rarely, there is an ad banner below your navigation bar on certain WikiAnswers pages.
What else can I help you with?
Why is it wikianswers?
It is called WikiAnswers because it is a wiki-based site that is owned by Answers. A wiki site is a community driven site where nearly anyone can edit the content. In its perfect form, the wiki concept cuts bureaucracy and lets users' changes appear immediately. Answers once used a subscription model where people could pay to get staff to answer questions. But they moved to an ad-based community model that was free to use.
Why are you allowed to change the answers on wikipeadiea?
Like this site (Wikianswers), Wikipedia is a user driven website. But both have rules to follow.
Is WikiAnswers a content generator for ad revenue?
No. It is a site where people come together to ask and answer questions and share their knowledge.
Do you sell clinique cosmetics?
No, WikiAnswers is an online Q&A site. It sells nothing but ad space to vendors. Membership is free.
Who is the model on the wiki answers site?
WikiAnswers is a user driven model. Everyone can contribute. If you mean the new image, above, it is a stock photo.
How can you report a mistake in translation on WikiAnswers?
This is a WIKI site. Correct it yourself by clicking Edit Answer or Edit Question. If the error is in an ad, the problem is with Google and you will have to contact them. If it is somewhere else on the page you can email WikiAnswers@answers.com.
What happens if you click on the ads in WikiAnswers?
A WikiAnswers supervisor removes the advertisement and warns you. If you continue to spam advertisements in answers, you may be blocked.
Can WikiAnswers help you search for a job?
WikiAnswers is not a job-hunting site, but a Q&A site.
Is WikiAnswers a user-friendly site?
Yes, the WikiAnswers site is very user-friendly.
Why Do People Spam on This Site?
People spam WikiAnswers because they think that WikiAnswers is an easy target, since anyone can edit anything. However, they do not forsee the 500+ supervisors on WikiAnswers patrolling day and night. They want to advertise something on a popular website, such as WikiAnswers (the 13th most popular site on the web), so they answer a question and post in the community forum with their advertisements for their business because they do not want to pay for an ad.
What site is this you are on?

Did WikiAnswers ever make a TV ad?
No
