Depends on how you imagine they will incorporate ads, but in the traditional sense of banners and text links, they don't need to.
Right now, it's one huge wish-list/shopping list for women. When something is pinned, their system will try to automatically replace/add affiliate codes.
It's a huge traffic generator for sites like pottery barn, toys-r-us, etc. They would probably try to approach these companies and say, "hey, we're sending you a lot of traffic and business, give us a cut". If the companies make a fuss about how they don't have an affiliate system, Pinterest can say, "ok, fuck you, we will redirect all links to amazon product pages with same/similar items"
Smart stuff. As pervs, we tend to forget about the female market. Look at mobile gaming, it's all women. Sure, Infinity blade sells well, but the top grossing apps/games are loved by women.
