Finally, if you don't have traffic but you have content. You're screwed, you can try shopping your content around but the opportunities are limited. If you have traffic but no content, you can find plenty of people willing to buy your traffic.
You're wrong. No other way to say it.

You're scenario is not equal. You give an example of a site with NO traffic not being able to make money because of the lack of traffic. I agree. But then you say a site with no content and lots of traffic can still make money by selling off that traffic.... uhhhhh...

No. You can't have it both ways bro. If I have a site with content and no traffic and I'm not making anything because of that.... okay fine. Can I not also get traffic from somewhere else? Just as you who has no content can sell your traffic to someone else who has the content?

If the answer is NO., then I submit that YOU cannot sell your traffic to another site, placing YOU in the same boat as ME not being able to buy traffic from someone else....

You can sell your traffic all you want... but if there is NO content to be had.... ANYWHERE.... that traffic will disintegrate into NOTHING.

Your argument does not hold.
