Revenues != profits

There is earning potential for certain: do they use it? For a group that list openness and freedom amongst their ideals [sic] I dont see any openness about the revenue TPB generates. They release no figures or data. Personally I consider that a double standard (and I have to confess I do believe they make a profit: perhaps not a huge amount but... logically they could make quite a bit and I dont see a decent argument for why they wouldnt)

  The biggest reason they wouldn't is who they're advertising to. Google makes a lot of money because people who search there might often be looking for a place to buy something that pops up in the paid results. People who search piratebay aren't often looking to buy anything, and advertisers know that.
