You mean like in some of those fancy fashion magazines where the ads are actually part of the content that people buy.

Yes that would be good for websites to do, but it also requires a dedicated ad department to organise it all, and consumers of that content that would want to buy the goods that are being sold.

Penney Arcade had good ads. They actually play the games that were advertised and it was also a stamp of approval.

This. It's the only website I've found that actually has ads relevant to the site, ads I want to see and am receptive for. My understanding from what I've gleaned from their blog, is that this really worked out for them (though PAX revenue now dwarfs their site revenue).
