What types of startup websites that investors like to Acquire or Buy out? eg: HOTMAIL.COM FOR 400 millions

This question has been floating in my mind for quite a long time, and i bet many people need to know the same. In this time of the Internet age people are building up fancy websites, great content site, fantastic blogs, really interesting sites. But the first thing on their mind is that someone will buy it like say hotmail.com or the indian ebay site baazee.com . What types of sites are these investors looking at......and what are the conditions that describe a potential acquisition of a website. and if someone has a high traffic site, do they go about approaching the investor, or the investor finds them??????

This is really bugging me and i bet it is on the minds of lots of other people.

any input is appreciated.

thank you
