Congrats. Are you sure that any possible additional competition because of this post won't matter to you, though? I am involved with some successful and already well-established websites and the last thing I would do is share how much they make on here.

If the only thing keeping you in the game is the fact that your potential competition doesn't know you're profitable I think you've got bigger problems to address.

This is not a solid business that might get acquired in the end so they are not interested in 1 hit wonders.

Unfortunately, "solid business" and "getting acquired" are probably inversely correlated these days. Is Twitter a solid business?

Has Twitter been acquired?

edit: This must be misunderstood. My intent was to illustrate that Twitter is not a good example of a company that has been acquired without a solid business model. Obviously the news says they've had offers, but just as obviously no offers have turned into acquisitions. The many intelligent people who work there and have invested in the company think Twitter has at least the promise of a solid business.
