How "Good" Are RSS Ads?

By “good” I mean would I actually click on one, and is the click-on result relevant to the content.
In my post on why RSS ads are important, I wrote about how this article discussing MobileTracker.net’s use of Feedburner’s feed-serving technology. This allows Feedburner to serve ads within MobileTracker’s RSS feed.
To try some RSS ads out, I used Bloglines to set up a RSS feed from Mobile.net. The first ad within the feed was attached to a post entitled Virgin Mobile launches K10 Royale . The ad was for Ring Tones and Wallpapers from Jamster which points to here. Here’s a screenshot this post and ad.
Ok, I might not be their target, but I could see people clicking on that.
The second ad was for Liquid Lense - $13.95 which points here. It’s a little off topic from the post’s content, but you can see the “match.” Heck, they might even sell some of the stuff. Liquid Lense, that is. Liquid Lense “Repairs Scratched & Cloudy Glasses“… oh, and for the quality seal of approval… “As Seen on TV”.
And finally, this one.
Which leads to YourMobileDesk.com’s page offering all times of retractable-cable products (like a mini travel mouse). Pretty good.
Man, these are all better than the old days on the GlobalHyperMegaNet with endless ads for ImGonnaFailRealSoon.bomb.
