I'm not sure if I've understood the question correctly. But try

<?php 
 if(count($this->result) > 0) {
  echo "advertise here";
 }else{ 
  // do nothing..effectively hiding.
 }
?>

You can also get rid of the else part completely.

Your if else statement seems to be correct. Did you try to check the content of your variable with a

var_dump($this->result)
