Texsy and Shopping.com
I put up the beta of my ad system - Texsy Ads - about a month ago. The ads are like a cross between Chitika and Intellitxt. They automatically highlight product mentions in your web content.

Texsy depends on APIs from Amazon, Ebay and Shopping.com to show products. And the publisher makes money when someone buys a product or (in the case of shopping.com) clicks on the ad.
The biggest problem I've had so far is that hardly any one who signs up for Texsy has a Shopping.com affiliate account.
Right now is a great time to have a Shopping.com account, because their payouts are 30% higher in Q4 than they are the rest of the year. Holiday shopping drives a ton of traffic and CPCs go up.
SO - go get a shopping.com partner account, and try Texsy for your forum, blog, wiki, or product site!
