Q: 

Embed advertisements in a windows application

I'm developing a free application and would like to make some money by embedding advertisements in it. Initially I had planned to embed ads in a webbrowser control (AdSense, Google Ads) but found that this isn't allowed. Does anybody have experience with this?

The program is coded in C# and will run on PCs not windows mobile

A: 

(Although I hate these,) one option for you might be to bundle toolbars? For example, InstallShield 2009 allows you to bundle the Yahoo! toolbar with your app's installer. You join the Acresso Value-Added Services program and get paid everytime the toolbar is used.

I'd really rather not do that because I personally get mad when things I install have these types of things. I'm more aiming for advertisements what would be shown in a sidebar of my application.
