People are focusing on the obvious or are searching for 'it' (whatever 'it' may be. The primary content is the obvious physical horse when in actuality, the masses are vulnerable to the less than obvious. This is Google's bread and butter.

Even beyond that, if someone does go the route of doing their own sponsorship sales, etc, they must make a much different kind of committment than most people are accustomed to. Federated is still picky with who they'll represent.. a group that few of us qualify for still.

Assuming he would have tried harder than just throwing an Adsense block willy nilly on his site. But, again, he didn't really need the extra income because he makes money through blogging passively. But now with Federated Media, I estimate he'll make between $50-$100k/year now from his blog traffic. Why use Adsense if you have that much traffic? Someone please tell me. :P) Sorry, but Guy could have both indirect revenue, and direct. Assuming he would have tried harder than just throwing an Adsense block willy nilly on his site.
