Jeff has mentioned in the past that dealing directly with the advertiser is "a great model if you can get it", but I imagine getting the critical mass that will attract advertisers to a desktop application is going be difficult and some ad based funding in the interim would be great. So to my question(s):

  • Are there any Adsense type services out there (or being developed) for desktop applications?
  • Any tips on attracting advertisers to a relatively small scale desktop application project?
