Cars.com is a good example of a site that does both. Lots of advertising.

One drawback is that with a specific generic domain, you might lack the flexibility of a unique name....amazon.com, for example, started with books, but now sells dvds, furniture, tools, and all sorts of stuff, whereas books.com (if it hadn't been bought by Barnes & Noble) would be kind of limited in that regard. Some generic terms are broader than others, like buy.com. Another example discussed on GFY a lot is men.com...that could cover a lot of different areas.

That being said, I still think cams.com is a great domain for development. I mean it does have that drawback, it wouldn't really lend itself to selling cat food, but it's great for marketing anything cam-related. (Webcam access like it's doing, other streaming media, and/or any sort of camera/photography products).
