Default Clever and lucrative websites

This thread is about websites that make decent money - like this site.
For our inspiration and daydreams.
I am - and i guess many of you too - specially interested in sites
  • made by individuals (not big staff sites by big corporations)
  • which suceeded through cleverness (original content, marketing,...)
I'll start with these 3 sites.

1. The Million Dollar Page - The Million Dollar Homepage - Own a piece of internet history!
A guy sold 1 Million pixels for 1$ each. Brilliant, useless, pure viral-marketing.

2. Plentyoffish - Plentyoffish.com Free Online Dating Service & Dating Site
Free online dating site by a guy who makes a lot of money with it. Nice name.

3. Cool Tools - Kevin Kelly -- Cool Tools
Blog by Wired editor Kevin Kelly. Started as small site about a personal interest (cool gadgets) and has grown over the years.

What successful sites do you know?
