Yes, running ads is only one of Google’s revenue stream, the big bucks comes from selling ads. Ads revenue only works if you have traffic like Digg, Myspace, Facebook and not when you have 500,000 pageviews per mth

These businessese have no real business model. They get a few thousand users, slap some ads on the site, and expect the millions to roll in. Taking tons of money in VC will not create a good company without a solid business plan.
