They're called search-based targeted ads. That's where Google's AdWords started from, and you can still do that if you wish. But personalized ads work a magnitude better.

What advertising really needs is not more from the same monopoly but rather an alternative to it.

The fact that Google choose to steer advertisers away from Adwords by overcharging for them doesn't mean that they can't be made just as effective.
