Even with perfect algorithm it won't be profitable enough. Value of mined coins will be roughly equal to value of consumed electricity used by computer (if no more efficient miner hardware exists).

As far as how much advertising value does the average internet user provide in a day? Facebooks ARPU is about $25 in the US. And apparently Facebook users spend an average of 50 minutes per day on Facebook. So that’s 8.2 cents per hour, so we’re within an order of magnitude!
