I'm surprised we haven't seen more of this. I fully expect companies like refer.ly and skimlinks.com to implement this model with a twist: share the revenue with customers. Customers could install the extension/plugin and browse sites as normal. However the ads they see would be earning them cash.

This would violate the TOS of Amazon and I'm pretty sure most other similar programs. In general I don't expect skimlinks' business model to work. Referral programs exist to incentivize linking to your site, not to share profit with a third party when a user of their site would have linked to you anyway.
