“I’ll create a site that goes viral creating massive traffic and user base so I can sell cpm’s for piddling amounts”

or

“I’ll create a site that goes viral creating massive traffic and user base which makes no money, but the traffic and user base are so impressive that maybe some sucker will buy a percentage so I can say its worth x billions”

If their business models didn’t rely on massive volumes of traffic then this wouldn’t be such an issue.

Many of these web 2.0 companies have models that mean the more traffic they have the more money they lose.

If lots of people like it, use it, but it’s free, and it relies on contributions from ‘investors’ to continue, it’s not a business, it’s a charity – like Twitter.
