Plentyoffish is a perfect example of a highly capital efficient business. I am not subscribed to Shoemoney nor The Paradigm Shift, but I will start now.

All of the big sites / acquisitions get the media attention. What reporter doesn't drool over a $1.6 billion headline for a site featuring videos kids make in their dorm rooms, and the rest, copyrighted cartoons & music videos? =) But there's also an army of smaller, lightweight publishers (like you describe) that are being funded by Google through AdSense, etc. Do you subscribe to Shoemoney & The Paradigm Shift? Those are great example of small one-manish shops that do $300k per month in revenue, I'm guessing profit margins coming in at 70-80% at least. (only costs in that setup are hosting, like you mentioned) You hit the nail on the head.
