They exist, and they do very well. Things like Nielson and others have been doing something similar for many years, as well as countless surveys that can pay you, and both of my parents have installed on seperate occasions a toolbar which pays them pennies per day they keep it enabled, and when asked about it they were fine with it recording everything as long as they get their payout.

I have seen those, but they are like you say about "pennies per day". Google could not survive on that.
If we are comparing a regular $40-$20 software sale to pay-by-tracking, then the people being tracked need to generate personal information that is worth equal amounts. It need to have mass market appeal in order to generate billions. How will pennies per day tool-bars do that?
