Apparently they have secured some investors for a nice sum. As far as I can see, there is nothing special about Wikia; it is simply MediaWiki where they allow people to create their own web. Wikia is a for-profit venture by Jimmy Wales, one of the founders of Wikipedia. It is ad-supported, meaning there are Google Ads down the right side of each page, but I could not find anything about revenue sharing for Wikia sites. I presume that all monies go directly to Wikia even though your content is what is driving the page hits. They also prohibit users from adding their own advertising to a Wikia site unless it is expressly approved by Wikia. This seems to me like a money making scheme using a wiki as the backdrop.
