If the profits gained from advertising on a website are not forbidden, then there is no harm in benefiting from them, and the subsequent closure of the website does not matter. However, if the advertisements are forbidden, then it is not permissible to direct people to them or to benefit from the money generated from them. In this case, one must dispose of the money by giving it as charity. As for land purchased with such money, it is permissible to use it along with repentance.
