How about the following business model to make money? I'll start a web shop. For every click, you will be charged $1.00, but I will pay you $1.10. You can click as many times as you want. The more, the better. My web shop will have billions of hits. My revenues will be great as well. I won't lose either because I'll go IPO and my stock will trade at 100 times its revenues. Which will make mine a trillion dollar company! Win-Win situation. Will you be my customer?

If the value of the e-commerce companies are for real, why are there no acquisitions and consolidations occurring within the e-commerce community. Could it be they realize the unrealistic prices and refuse to pay them? While I'm confidant someone will respond with a small acquisition that happened recently. I think you'll notice an absence on the order of Amazon acquiring OnSale or even better the Gap (a proven company befitting from the internet). You can't argue that Amazon would not benefit from a move like this when their plan for growth includes expanding into items other than books and CDs.
