The ads format is not a problem. But how to analyze page contents and get its topic and then put ads on that? I know it must involve advanced techs, but is there any product, either free or paid? My best knowing like is is MS Word's summary feature, which may generate document's summay automatically, in many cases, not too bad.

I tried to do it some months ago.

Really my programming skills are very low but when I realized that my program was 1.200 lines long and it didn't analize a single page properly, I felt absolutely lost and opened the recycle bin.

It explains why Google is Google and I am who I am.

Come on, man. G$ is backed by hundreds of PhDs. Unless you are Einstein, do not expect rival with G within couple of months.

There’s a good javascript that doe's it automaticly for you. Try searching for CBprosense.

The script is connected to an affiliate program and automatically matches products to your page (based on the page content). I'm using it on some of my pages and the results are pretty good so far.

Judging from the crappy target matching abilities I see from competing "contextual" programs, I doubt that it is as easy as you are hoping it will be.

Also, you've got to have the right ads to match to the page's contents. Acquiring a large pool of ads (and advertisers) on many different topics isn't going to be a walk in the park.

max_mm - you seem to mention that script in pretty much everything you post, so I will uncynically assume that you're very happy with it (as opposed to its owner). Have you tried to track it to see how many clicks you "lose" to the first link being affiliated with the script's sponsor, as opposed to having your affiliate code? For those with static content, to maximize profit it may be best used as a tool to find suitable affiliate links for a given page, although I will concede that some would question the ethics of free riding off of somebody else's code.

hyperkik,

LOL, i wishe i was the owner. The only reason i mention it is because i am really impressed with it's flexibility and the considerable amount of new sales i now generate for products i have never promoted before. I let it do all the work (of matching) on some of my pages and it works (with very little effort on my behalf except of copying and pasting the code to my templates offcourse).

I just wishe other ad networks would have included the options it offers as a model. As for the "lost" clicks you mention on the first product, i can live with that. I think average Joe surfer clicks whatever ad which is of most interest and not necessarily the first product on the list. So i think the "loss" is negligible when compared to the benefits.

The only odd thing with this system is the horizontal list as opposed to vertical. This makes it a bit hard to use as an Adsense alt for leaderboards.

But all in all, a great addition/alternative (in my basket anyway).
