Is this model just for counting?
You need to find the current record, then save your changes to get the
database to update.
You should perform this in a transaction to keep one view from
stomping on another. See ActiveRecord::Base::transaction class
method.

There's a cleaner way:
ActiveRecord::Base#increment! increases the passed attribute by 1 and
saves the record.
def showadvert
@advert = Advert.find(params[:id])
@advert.increase!("views")
end
then you can just show it in your views as you suggested:
<%= @advert.views %>
