i know plenty of mainstream sites who get a million+ visitors a day and are barely paying their bills. one widget company owner i talked to last year has over 100 servers to serve widgets on myspace and hi5 sites, but personally earns less than $50k a year. huge traffic but little profit.
so who is really winning the race? hard to say.

That's what I mean though, mainstream is so unbelievably huge that nobody knows all of the different ways to earn money from it. For instance, I know multiple people doing $1 to $3 per click as affiliates
and they have the pile of traffic to make that more than just a small income. I studied mainstream techniques for 2+ years solid and I would say I don't even know 5% of the ways people are taking advantage of it. Every day I talk to someone else that does big money on something I've never even considered.
