I'm curious, what exactly do you mean? If I'm surfing the web, and you're showing people's ad's to me, are you saying that when they surf the web, they'll see my ads? What if we don't surf the same amount? What if I don't have a product to sell at all?

It has nothing to do with surfing the web. Rather, there's an ad exchange web site. You submit your ad and look at other ads there. The more you look at other people's ads on that site, the more your ad will be shown to others on that site. The whole point of the site is to show ads via this ad exchange. The site doesn't offer any other content/service. If you have nothing to sell/promote, then there's no reason for you to use this service. But many people would at least want to promote their blog say.

  Why would I want to have other advertisers - exclusively - look at my ad? Do they buy the stuff I sell?

    It would be a free service. It would provide an incentive for people to look at ads.

      Are you saying that you'd do this just as a hobby? If that's the case, sounds like an interesting idea. If I play the devil's advocate as advertiser a bit more though, I'm still not understanding why I would value this service. My time is a lot more precious than the pay-per-click rates I would spend on google. I'm not really that interested in looking at ads all day.

        People generally ignore Google ads. Here the ads would take your complete attention. In fact, we can take this idea further by asking the user to decide whether the ad he/she is looking at should be linked with his submitted ad (to provide a "related" ads feature).

        >People generally ignore Google ads. Well, google's billions suggest they don't, but people would ignore a site that only contains ads even more. I think there's a YC company doing the ad rating thing though, can't remember their name at this point though...

        What is an ad anyway? Isn't every page on the web essentially an ad?
