There was a lot of hype when Seth Godin implemented this idea on Squidoo back in December. I haven't heard much about it since. That's not to say it's a bad idea, but rather that it's not some miracle technology with guaranteed easy money.

I thought it had a lot of potential at the time and I still think it has a lot of potential now. The only problem is that until there is a large body of ads you get very scatterbrained results.

There's an automatic large body of ads because their default ad is the Amazon affiliate program. While there's not a lot of money to be made as an Amazon affiliate, there's useful information to be gained about a user's taste in media.
