User generated content. Users classify links as ads after getting fooled, preventing other users from seeing it.
You could also scan all outbound links and check to see if content (actual content) is the same without the parameters (e.g. my.affiliate.com/?affid=134 == my.affiliate.com or aff123.affiliate.com == www.affiliate.com) simply based on a few heuristics.
I am thinking something like a combination of opendns + adblock + digg would work in a nice slick package so that grandmas can use it.
- axod 18y agoYeah good luck with that :/ Make something people want. People don't really care if someone gets commission. In fact they often go out of their way to make the website commission if they like what the website does.
- trapper 18y agoI'm not saying I would do it :) You said it couldn't be done, I disagree. I do think it's something people want too. Distraction is a huge problem on the web. I know it's not what you want being an ad supported business, but I do believe someone will do it at some point.
