I totally missed the ad revenue which I felt a bit too web 1.0. Next time I can structure my answer much better. Thanks a lot !

Re any idea how to make the site marketer proof - not really. In a sense it will have to be accepted. every site may have its own unique ways of dealing with marketers, but I dont think a global solution exists. Take comments on this blog for example. Yes, there could be some comments from marketers who just want a link back to their own site - sometimes thats OK - sometimes not. all depends on a case by case basis. kind rgds Ajit thanks Steve.

That's exactly what <a href="http://www.KeyFess.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.KeyFess.com</a> has done. An online confession site that offers its visitors a ad free anonymous site where they can post, read & vote on confessions, rants and secrets. After only two months this site receives almost 10k new visitors a day and has reached addictive levels. I must "keyfess", it is refreshing to frequent a site that strictly wants to entertain its visitors and asks for nothing in return. All this while it has a zero page rank? Well, it is only 2 months old, it will be interesting to see where it is on its anniversary! Can a site acheive page rank when it doesn’t sell or advertsing anything?

If the premium services aren't needed by a typical user, there's no sacrifice of collective intelligence etc. The long-tail members are included, but their costs are covered by the short-head members. An example is Flickr, which most users happily use for free. I believe that what qualifies a site as web 2.0 (using your definition) is whether the fees for premium services are a barrier for significant numbers of members. If they are, that's when collective intelligence etc. suffers. But if they're not, because of a combination of high functionality for free and a low price for premium, then a site's web-2.0-ness is intact. Like Flickr.

For those of who've been along that path, Web 2.0 looks to be merely the latest expression of the compelling attraction of personal networking that has evolved painfully over the last quarter century. Even at 300 baud, people wanted, and paid for, information they defined as important to them, and to connect with people with whom they shared a common interest. But it has been excruciatingly difficult to do that, what with it being an Information Age and all, and proprietors of those engines not willing to yield the means of production to the masses, despite the clear signs on their usage charts. Only in the last couple of years have the inevitably evolving properties of the medium reached a capacity to match that compelling attraction and lock in the Information Sharing Age that has been incipient for so long. If we keep only that in mind, then the monetization will follow.
