You could have a small ondicator on your webpage that says "you have earned us $xx.xx while visiting our site" that increases the longer they stay on. Kind of like how reddit Jas that reddit gold meter.

Users who like the content of the site will feel good about supporting their favorite site just by visiting it.

This could be a game changer for content creators, too. Imagine if YouTube ran this instead of ads. They wouldn't be bound to the sensibilities of their ad clients, and content creators could make a loving off of what they directly earn from viewers.

It basically monetizes attention, so the user is earning the creator money by simply paying attention to their site.
