GonZo - I'll shoot you a pm in a minute, but you hit on one of the reasons we're considering letting these two sites go. Both sites have only static html story pages, thousands of them, with mostly hard-coded banners or served via ancient Javascripts. Trying to get someone's advertising onto those pages is not an easy task the way things are set up today. The sites would be a good opportunity for someone who wanted to remake them into what the future of story sites should look like. I have too many other things going on these days to think I'll have time to get these rebuilt how I'd like them, and it takes too much time to update them the way they are now.
Fonz - I'm pretty sure Google has a lot of returning traffic too.
I'd be willing to say that this traffic in not more valuable than Google traffic, but I wouldn't concede that it's only worth one-fifth of what their traffic is worth. Sex story surfers are pretty good traffic, as those here who have story sites will know.
