no, it generates cash by itself... (also I can't prove that they are indeed doing this)

the way that it works is a site generates fake users those fake users click on the ads on the site thousands of times. each time an ad gets clicked the person (or company) that created the add pays google or whoever hosts the ads, and then google pays the owner of the site.

For more info on click fraud:

Click fraud[1] is a type of Internet crime that occurs in pay per click online advertising when a person, automated script or computer program imitates[2] a legitimate user of a web browser clicking on an ad, for the purpose of generating a charge per click without having actual interest in the target of the ad's link. Click fraud is the subject of some controversy and increasing litigation due to the advertising networks being a key beneficiary of the fraud.
Use of a computer to commit this type of Internet fraud is a felony in many jurisdictions, for example Penal Code 502 in California, USA.[3] There have been arrests relating to click fraud with regard to malicious clicking in order to deplete a competitor's advertising budget
Pay per click advertising, or PPC advertising, is an arrangement in which webmasters (operators of Web sites), acting as publishers, display clickable links from advertisers in exchange for a charge per click. As this industry evolved, a number of advertising networks developed, which acted as middlemen between these two groups (publishers and advertisers). Each time a (believed to be) valid Web user clicks on an ad,the advertiser pays the advertising network,who in turn pays the publisher a share of this money. This revenue-sharing system is seen as an incentive for click fraud.
The largest of the advertising networks, Google's AdWords/AdSense and Yahoo! Search Marketing, act in a dual role, since they are also publishers themselves (on their search engines).[4] According to critics, this complex relationship may create a conflict of interest. This is because these companies lose money to undetected click fraud when paying out to the publisher but make more money when collecting fees from the advertiser. Because of the spread between what they collect and pay out, unfettered click fraud would create short-term profits for these companies.
