Actually the ads on the TWIC page are of the London Chess Centre, also the shop that hosts TWIC and that employs Mark. If you only make it your homepage and never actually buy anything, the number of hits they see will increase but you'd only be costing them (a tiny bit of) money for the hosting.
In the past I've bought a chess book from them even though it was a little bit cheaper elsewhere, might do it again in the future.
