The latest thing going around is text ad links in websites associated with the content of the website. Something like webrings......for example WHT will have text ad links of hosting providers, other hosting discussions forums etc. They are working on full automation insertion and per click costing and other effective methods.
LINKUPS.COM is an appropriate name for such a feature. If you want a lead talk to Rajesh Jain of Emergic.Com/Org. Email :
http://emergic.org/feedback.html He maybe interested in the domain or may know someone who would want it and is willing to pay a good price. Goodluck [I dont know him well enough so please dont refer my name to him. Let me know if the sale went through]
Good luck

Content-related Advertising
The Economist has a story on online advertising and how it is working for both advertisers and consumers. After the search-related text ads and pay-for-performance pioneered by Google and Overture, the next horizon is advertising linked to the content of the page.
This is done by using software to boil text down to a handful of keywords and to serve up related ads next to it. Just as with search-based advertising, the idea is that surfers are more likely to click on ads relevant to a web page's content than on a scattershot banner ad.
This time, Google was first. Since March, its ads have also been appearing on the pages of such websites as HowStuffWorks.com and Slashdot.org. Content targeting also explains why the firm recently acquired two start-ups, Applied Semantics and Pyra Labs. The first is a developer of content-targeting software; the second sells software to create personal web pages called โweb logsโ, or โblogsโ, which could make excellent homes for Google's ads.
