OSM actually had ads way before Google Maps: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mappam

I don't think you can compare the ad tracking that Google does now, and what the OSM website used to do years ago. That wiki page is almost 10 years old, with the website mentioned (mappam.com) no longer working.

Though since OSM predates Google Maps, it makes sense that OSM would have another first :P
