There's a webcomic I read called Questionable Content (http://questionablecontent.net/). (It's pretty good, if you're into that kind of stuff)
They have a unique advertising system for their site. They use a service called Project Wonderful (http://www.projectwonderful.com/).

All advertising on Project Wonderful is bought and sold on the Infinite Auction. It's a new system designed with transparency, fairness and profitability in mind for everyone involved. But how does it work?

It's actually pretty simple.

Let's say you're an advertiser, and you want to put your ad on a certain site. To do this, you just place a bid in that site's auction. Bidding is a fast and easy process where you tell us two important pieces of information: what you want to pay, and when you want to pay it.

Our system examines all bids, every second of every day. If you're the person willing to pay the most at that moment, your ad is displayed on the site! It's really as easy as that. You're only charged for the time in which your ad is the high bidder - and all charging is done to the nearest second.

You can change your maximum bid, or cancel it entirely, at any time. And we provide full performance tracking for your bid (displays, unique viewers, clicks, effective cost-per-click and cost-per-display rates, and more). It's entirely up to you.
So, I was thinking maybe we should get a chipin or something going to advertise Rand on the site. Maybe buy all 4 of these little buttons?

That's basically how Google placements work, but they are far more ubiquitous.
