Meant AdSense, not AdWords, above. Sorry.

I disagree with your last paragraph. I think it would increase the number of people (and their number attempts) trying to post stuff that they think is high quality, I’m not sure that the presence of remuneration itself is enough to actuall bring in higher quality people/work. At least not on a site like Flickr. Maybe if you had an online photo mag that was now just accepting volunteer submissions and started paying for photos you could garner better content (switch out photos for words for a different type of site content).

It’s different, of course, but the emergence of AdWords itself, IMO, didn’t increase the number of high quality blogs. It just increased the number of blogs, since more people had the incentive to try to make a bit of cash.

Of course, who knows. But I’m sure we’ll see a site with a model as suggested by Anil sooner rather than later and we’ll find out for real.

Anil Dash and Caterina Fake cross-blog on Yahoo profiting from Flickr photos

Anil Dash asks, what does he gain from high Flickr interestingness? But interestingness in Flickr doesn’t pay. At least not yet. Non-pro users are seeing ads around my photos [a commenter notes that no one sees ads around a pro…
