To much focus on PPA/PPS will eventually destroy the Internet IMHO. Nobody will make any money from advertising as a publisher, companies will never want to pay anything for any display ad. You'll have Google, shopping sites and places to buy stuff on the Internet but no money to buy anything. (If you're a publisher)

I imagine publishers whose sites drive a significant amount of sales will make money. Perhaps not enough to retire, but enough to cover costs of their sites. I've always been skeptical of the mindset I find in the publisher community that creating a site is a pathway to wealth. (I'm not singling you or anyone else out in particular, just making an observation about the people who seem to expect instant wealth despite having sites that have only been online for a short time and draw very little traffic, let alone sales.)
