I'm probably being dim here, but can you elaborate a bit more. Where's the rest of the non-ad revenue coming from?
He means "careful that the 9k of revenue doesn't come from ads that the scamming owner placed so that the site could show higher traffic => ad revenue." In other words, paying $2 for ads to send people to your website, to make $1 on the ads that the ad platform now shows to your "audience."
