I used to have a cooling pad (Zalman NC-2000) - it worked well with many Windows notebooks, because they usually have a air intake at the bottom, because, most cooling pads "push" the air towards the notebook.
Doesn't help anything with a Macbook though. Macbooks take their air from all open ports (keyboard for example). The heat is let out through the aluminum body and the side fans of course.
So, "pushing" the air towards the notebook with cooling pads doesnt help. One could argue that cooling the body would help, but trust me, it doesnt.
When idle (with Chrome (4-5 Tabs), iTunes, Mail and Skype opened), the macbook had about 55°C.
With the cooling pad in idle mode, it had about 55°C as well.
When gaming, it was 90-100°C with both as well.
What help though, was a stand that raises the notebook.
These ones do help though:
Belkin Loft Stand
or this
TwelveSouth HiRise
because there will be much room UNDER the notebook for the air to ventilate.
I am now at 45°C idle / 80°C gaming.
Hope this helps :)

Let me know if I missed anything! :)
Thanks, bud. I'm using this Rolodex Monitor Stand for the Thunderbolt display, and this Belkin Loft for the Air. Grabbed that one because I wasn't being picky when Amazon grouped it with the wireless keyboard and trackpad.
