Subject: [PATCH] ads: clarify on the Monetize page that a site = a CrawlProof
 project
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Users didn't realise monetizing requires creating a project first. Spell
it out in the intro and empty state so the site→project relationship is
obvious.
