A tor exit node will not be able to produce a dime this way because
its always the same IP that is watching/clicking ads (his own ads) so
the clicks will not count or the account will get banned in all
adsense services.
Still, changing links to amazon, ebay and other similar websites by
adding the referral/tag of the tor exit node owner could produce
income, regardless the IP. But who browse the internet for shopping
via tor?
