On a different note for those of you that have communities how do you cope with spam? It differs daily and can go for a while without it but then comes the attack! Thing is it's usually bollocks, can't imagine anyone would make money outa some of the crap posted lol. Thinking of having a manual approval system. Very time consuming though I'd imagine.

The only way I found to completely battle spam hitting the forums was manually approving each user. When they signed up, they received a welcome email saying that in order to get access, they had to send an email proving they were legit and not a spammer. Everything else failed to some degree. Pain in the ass but much better then having to deal with spammers after they've flooded the forum with useless links.
As for the profitability, you'd be quite surprised what people will click on and buy. Oleg Nikolaenko made a shitload of money when he infected 500,000+ computers to send out unsolicited email spam.
