As long as people can't game HN points, I don't think there's a problem with people trying to get their ads on front page - Only if enough people thought the content was worth looking at the ads it gets upvoted, so the quality stays good. (As an aside: I don't know much about this, but wouldn't it be relatively easy to create a couple of dozen hn accounts, set up a script and upvote any post you like.. Indeed, with the amount of geeks visiting the site, I'd be surprised if it hadn't already been done. Anyone care to explain?)
