Here's a comprehensive performance review between PostgreSQL and MySQL. It compares both DB's under load as well as comparing Intel/AMD chips.

After hosting a few clients web sites and email, I started using SpamAssassin to block spam. It works, but the false positives make life difficult for everyone. So, I built a web-based quarantine with a Postgres back-end and eventually turned it into its own service.
We're developing software that can enable carriers to pinpoint drive testing. We analyze call logs and are able to triangulate call locations and generate maps and other reports based on where problems are occurring.
This is the next generation of RF analysis software which allows wireless carriers to pinpoint trouble spots faster than drive testing alone.
We offer cash prizes and t-shirts to the weekly winners during the football season. Our revenue is solely based from advertisers and sponsors.
We use Flycast for our banner advertising. We were getting around $3.50 net CPM from them during the season for doing very little work on our part. We also had weekly sponsors that paid up to be included in our weekly emails and to have an ad on *every* page.
I suggest you create the site with advertising holes in place, and then hunt down your advertisers/sponsors. This takes a lot of energy, make sure you have someone who has done cold calls before doing this.
Also, gainging page views is best done by swapping a portion of your advertising with a partnering site.
