Comments on: So much for whitespace: AdCamo launches background ad network

A smart business could paper blogs' designs over with ads.

There are much stronger players in the market, with deep advertiser relationships and more sophisticated technology. Also, the backgrounds on AdCamo's site look like they came from MacPaint and the "K.I.S.S Method" reference in ?About Us" makes me wonder if this is a class project. Louis should spiff up the site and use it to get a mid level job at a large ad network.

Yes, Louis Dorman holds a certification from Art Institute. He paid lawyers thousand's of dollars for this patent and that he would be a "millionaire" from this idea. I believe he is known as a fraud in the body building world, Google him...
Yes, he should use it to get a job which pays for an accredited degree.

This would be good for a pr0n site. They like that sort of thing.

The examples on the website are of a 5th grade level. The idea is weak at best

For a slightly different take on the AdCamo check out http://www.emptyspaceads.com. Our idea is that your site's empty space isn't providing you any value beyond simple aesthetics. Firstly, the ads only appear when when your user's mouse is in the empty space of your site, and they only appear within your site's empty space. So for some users, they'll never see the ads.

You can create your own ads, or serve ads from 3rd party ad networks (currently ShoppingAds only). Creating your own ads allows you to drive users to content on your website or blog that you monetize well (a CafePress store for example), or behavior you'd like to encourage (like more RSS subscribers). See our blog for an example (http://blog.emptyspaceads.com).
