Good thoughts, Jer. Funny you should mention ad networks. I approached Federated Media a while back.
They loved the traffic, but couldn't deal with the fact that it was a tutorial site. They seemed to think of themselves as Builders of A Great Online Editorial Empire, instead of what they are: ad brokers.
"We work with blogs. This isn't a blog."
"It's better than a blog. The content is more targeted."
"Uh, you're not a blog."
Maybe I'll hit up No Starch Press or somebody like that. Thanks!
