Yes. They get money from the advertisers. But where do the advertisers get the money? And why do they advertise?

(...) and the emails wouldnt be send to my HOTMAIL id or anythin like dat but instead..i have to log in and check my emails on there website..so i dont have to be worried about getting those junk emails tht u r talkin abt...
I wouldn't say that. I'm quoting the signup form on the website:

Please verify your email below. Type in your email and click "Verify Email Address". You must type in a valid email address.
That means they do have your email address.
I assume that you have to give them your name and street address too, in order to get the money. That means they could easily go phishing aswell as just spamming.
I'd suggest anyone who is still interested to get a new email account for spam mail (like yabbayabbawelcomejunkmailonly31415926536897932384626@hotmail.com), to use on not-fully-trusted sites.
By the way:

IMPORTANT: Signup only if you are from US & Canada. All our advertiser's request the above demographics to target their advertising.
That means it's not available for everybody.
