Most of the exchanges make money through transaction fees, which can be pretty big.
and even the difference between buying and selling.

To the best of my knowledge there hasn't been any allegations or report on their trading against customers.

Bitstamp and btc-e are only charging user fee on matched trade.
I have not heard allegation of them trading against their customers.
Yes, you have heard allegations - in the above posts. Of course, these are really just suspicions, but they were presented in a suggesting way.I have not heard allegation of them trading against their customers.
In a nutshell, exchanges profit from trading fees. They usually do not make much profit off of withdrawals. Some of the exchanges make even more money off of using the information they have at their disposal to their advantage.

Notice the price difference between Buy and Sell on exchanges?
These companies are market makers and profit from that bid-ask spread.
Other relevant search terms include algorithmic trading and arbitrage opportunity.

Those firms build a huge userbase. That in itself is incredible valuable. Wouldn't wonder if a company like BTCchina is sold for >100 mlillion USD and the buyer introduces fees longterm.

Zero fees Chinese exchanges make most of their money by trading against their customers (stop loss farming, front running etc.). If you don't think this is happening in an unregulated Chinese exchange you are insane.
Bingo. Id back that most "reputable" exchanges are involved too. Price fixing and market distortion is too easy and attractive an opportunity to forgoBrokers that trade against their customers are called bucket shop. People should avoid this kind of exchange as the price they quote you is arbitrary rather than market rate.

Exchanges have fees for every transaction, they get 1% or so. Now 1% of 10.000 is 1000$, so they make money based on that.
Also, some have a withdraw fee

when the alt scene wasn't dying like now, a good profit was coming also from voting

Ads and fees only if they are legit.

The exchanges profits from fees (deposit,witdraw and trading)
I don't think the deposit/withdraw fees add up to very much and these fees are likely close to the actual costs of doing these functions. The main source of revenues and profits that exchanges have are the trading fees. These can easily add up and many traders will trade into and out of positions several times per day, allowing an exchange to earn their fee on every trade.

If they will not have profit, they will not do this business 
They have a few ways to make profit, from their internal fees, from difference in prices when you buy and sell currency, from website ads etc.

Withdrawal and/or transaction fees, they will earn from these fees.

In a nutshell: Fees when you buy/trade, and withdraw fees. I have yet to find a place that has a deposit fee.
And yeah, they make a lot of money. Lots of it.
