BUT..
perlmonks is here - as far as I can see - in a much better situation, thus they can say - relying on access logs- how many different people for sure have seen the ads on top.
Therefore there's no reason at this andvanced state of technique to force anyone to visit an "entry page" anymore.
mmh, just two cents, :-)

    you would think the server logs could help, but if they only show that people are coming but not showing any predictable traiffic pattern being enforced by a site, then it can be a problem...

    but, of course, this is not a for-profit venture. the rules are different here. I'm to used to my clients and their needs. It's just been my experience that by having control over the _first_page people are going to see, or, at least, the first ad-space you have more appeal to the ad-guys.
