I actually pitched that exact idea at Launch48 earlier this year (and registered the domain adynam.com for it), but ended up building something else instead.
The main problem is getting the initial ad inventory, I thought about using affiliate links to start with, but my back of the napkin calculations showed that they were unlikely to bring in enough money to be competitive.
Although last week someone posted on HN saying that they'd built an adsense competitor using affiliate links and they were getting a decent CPM out of it, so maybe that is a viable route.
- daralthus 16y agoYeah affiliate links seemed the right way, but I was also thinking about crawling the ads first, as it looks like some interesting data to have. Of course money making would be a bit harder, but getting traction would be easier I think. Actually, it should be validated and that seems to be the hardest point for me.
