Wait: so before accessing a website I have to go read its terms of use?

What if I set up a website, put a clause saying "you agree to pay $50/page view" in there, and hid it away. Google crawlers will find my site in no time, and then I can start raking the dollars in, right?

No: such a clause wouldn't be enforceable in that context.
