Blogitive
The folks at blogitive.com have an idea that I find intriguing.
You know how radio personalities sometimes read out ads during their show? They are more or less given a script, but they can also improvise a little bit, add their own touch to the ad. What I like about that is that you aren't "mainlining" a canned ad directly into your bloodstream, like you are when you watch a pre-taped TV commercial. A person is telling you something that someone asked them to tell you.
This is even more relaxed. Blogitive passes on URLs from advertisers to a blogger, and the blogger just incorporates the link into a post, with full discretion on the surrounding text. For an example, go to my friend Josh's blog, and look at his post "How thoughtful is it really to send flowers?"
Want to try it? If you have a blog that is indexed by Technorati or Google (or some other "major seach engine"-- not sure exactly what their criteria are), and has a decent little bit of traffic, Blogitive will probably accept your application. Tell them (using Contact Us) that I referred you.
Think it sucks? Tell me why...

I was actually wondering recently if something like this existed. It makes a lot of sense. From my experience, links in the sidebar (where ads usually appear) get clicked far less frequently than links in the text of the entries. Advertisers should get far more clicks this way.
