Do you think this will get anywhere near the UK (or the rest of the world) within a couple of years? even YPN hasn’t managed it yet.

~sigh~ another US ad-network!

I also agree with Billionare Normy Waite. The problem is creating a universal way to feed that personal data to a targeting system. Maybe it will be done with a personalized browser that reverses cookies in a way that sites receive personal info from the browswer itself (and not vice versa)…what ever the process, a person would have to be rewarded for divulging personal data.

I just signed up to advertise directly through Turn. Took me 4.5 minutes (But I had existing ads to upload). As a point of comparison, it took me over 50 minutes to sign up to AdSense some months ago (mainly due to my confusion about how to select keywords and going through their suggestions). I’m hoping to obtain another point of comparison within a few weeks. AdSense (Clickfraud I think) ate up my entire initial budget within a week and I’m not even sure if the sales that resulted in that period can be attributed to it. Will be interesting to see how much I have to pay Turn if and when.

Ads should be targeted based on data on the person, the Web page, and the ad, not just the last two. Moreover, what is crucial is how the data is manipulated to make the decisions. Hilbert space anyone?

I think this might work out. The model looks pretty promising.
