No, I mean breaking even is not a major achievment if you invest very little. How many businesses can you get into for nothing? Hell even Amway will sell you supplies.
Maybe we should be charging for hosted galleries so there is an investment necessary if you want to play. It might cut down on the numbers, but those who sign up would be serious and it would cut down their competition from all the traffic rats who don't have a pot to piss in. Good for everyone. Whaddaya think?

Thats sounds a bit drastic of a quick answer solution, Maybe the way it would work is the more you sale for a specific sponsor, the more access your aloud to better content. I see a few that do this now,
it's a good way of controlling all the free stuff out there.
"Ya don't sell, well ya don't get anymore free promo stuff".
But then if it was like this, then I would have a shitload of blank pages online lol.
Your going towards another direction with this topic though,

I took a look at Adwords, Overture, etc. a couple of years ago. I ran some numbers for a couple of my top selling programs using figures from my stats for average income per sale, conversion ratios etc. it was pretty clear that the conversion ratios would have to be significantly better to make it worth the extra work to manage PPC campaigns to keep the click cost at an optimum level.
