COOL PROGRAMMING IDEA

Name: Anonymous 2015-04-09 10:55

What if one was to program a computer software that could interface with a user's browser and replace every IAB-sized image (as in, banner ads) with your own banner? That way people would pay YOU instead of Google or whatever other ad agency is out there. The only hurdle would be installing it on every computer, but you could strike deals with various popular free software providers to bundle your software in their download package for a fee. Also, maybe "drive-by downloads" would be a solution. Or perhaps some kind of email worm.

Anybody want to work with me on this? I'm not much of a programmer, more of an ideas man, so I'd need to partner up with a skilled professional willing to go the extra mile getting this made and installed on the public's computers.

Bronze league? Surely you mean gold standard, right? No brand wants to be associated with annoying pop-ups and randomly-linked text, or any of the other ad delivery methods associated with adware, but all of them like to have prominent banners displayed on trusted sites. Therefore, this tool could be used to usurp Google, et al.

I find that very hard to believe, pal.
