I was using you logic mate. You said...

If all media exists because of advertising, then if e-gold starts selling
advertising space, e-gold will become another media outlet for
advertising. Therefore, e-gold will exist because of advertising.

The only methods you have proposed involve turning e-gold into an
advertising outlet. Large businesses probably want to wait until they can
know something else about e-gold other than "weren't they raided by the US
Secret Service?" or "aren't they just used for money laundering?". This
will come from

Silly cottage-industry businesses, and their customers, will form the
large (i.e. millions), stable (i.e. not using it just because they got $5
for creating an account) user base that will greatly accentuate e-gold's
innate qualities of non-repudiability, world-wide usage, and instant
clearance.
Another silly cottage industry would be an indepedently run advertising
list aimed at the people who are serious users of e-gold. This would
target actual users of e-gold, not just people who want to get paid for
the nothingness of receiving ad-based email. I still not seeing the net
good of putting ads on the spend page. This could just be my aversion to
being forced to view ads when I am not getting something for free.

Are you talking about already existing businesses, or brand-new ventures?
You keep using already existing businesses as references. An already
existing business should have an already existing customer base. They can
push e-gold on their existing customers.
