At the risk of slipping off topic, actually advertising doesn't really work that way. Advertisers want to target thir advertising, meaning they want to make sure the advertising is reaching the subset of people they want. (Old advertising axion: 90 percent of advertising is wasted; the problem is you don't know which 90 percent.)
By using registration, the NYT has a basic demographic measure to show advertisers, one that even includes click-through from other sites; this makes page views ten or a hundred times more valuable than random page views.
It's funny guys! C'mon, it was a good Futurama joke!
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'.
