These ads are displayed on the Action Stream (on the Home tab) and are randomly selected for which active ads are shown to each member. To control how many ads, or if any ads, are displayed, that is controlled on the Action Stream tab in General Settings. For more information on that please see our Action Stream Preferences article.
Once an ad is active you will receive the total impressions and total clicks for each ad on the Ads page.

This doesn’t have to be an advertisement that someone is paying you for. It could simply be a graphic to send members to your social media channels, or an on sale date, or anything that you would like to insert into the homepage.
