I can think of half a dozen mainstream projects that are investing huge amounts of money in search and other advertising that have been doing so for 24 months or more and are still to break even.

One example is Brosa, here in Australia, who just got a $2 million funding injection and haven't yet been out of the red. They're re-investing in building the brand.
