As ad revenue increases, the cost of paid content remains fixed, thus creating surplus. In my mind, this is much better than writing everything yourself and making less through ads.

There is no single way to know if a certain site or niche will be profitable, other than trying it out. The costs of hosting and domain names are neglible these days, so the only thing you need to create lots of sites is TIME. If a site is so successful you can eventually pay people to create content for the site, which is what I do with www.tokyoessentials.com Paying someone else for content also creates different interest areas in your site.
