The announcer (the enterprise on the ad) pays to the advertising platform (for example Google) which gives a small amount to the site displaying the ad.

Yes, I think that's how it works. The company who hired the ad space pays google, google pays the site that had the ad banner.

Adnauseum does load the ad, and clicks some of them.
