Solve Media (solvemedia.com) is doing exactly this. I’m working on my own interactive ad startup that will occupy a different corner of the advertising ecosystem: exploiting a canyon in the freemium model. Check out our pre-reg at unlockable.com.

This is a great idea and with some research I have found a company which is already offering this service in Germany: http://www.captchaad.com/

Best,

Sometimes Captcha Sites looks like frustrating but are somewhat secure so use captcha on your sites also

We used the Captchavertising system for a while on some blogs but decided to not pursue it as a business. It was a tough idea to make successful with a lot of question marks. Users hate captcha’s. advertisers don’t want to be associated with spam (in any way) and I wonder if the comment form is a good moment to distract people from what they want to do with ads.

We did use it as an extra incentive for advertisers for a while but found out they weren’t that interested.
