Yes AppExchange is run by Salesforce and they likely do subsidize the security review. They also take a percentage of revenues from direct AppExchange installs(believe 15-25%) after listing. SF wants third party devs building out functionality and the ecosystem. Google seems to be taking a different approach...

These costs definitely seem high. As a reference point - to get through the Salesforce AppExchange security review process, believe the cost is $2,700. It’s an extremely rigorous security testing as one might imagine with corporate CRM data.

I sometimes wonder if PayPal is doing this with FreshBooks. FB integration is fine with lots of providers; for whatever reason PayPal is constantly down.

Agree with Todd's general setup. CPM's on display ads are in a death spiral thanks to a glut of inventory and programmatic buying/targeting options.

Particularly for a tutorial site I would consider paid, clearly marked sponsored tutorials that you produce and keep full editorial control over. In moderation it can work well and still have educational value for readers and drive results for advertisers way beyond any display ads, and significantly more revenue for you. Full disclosure I handle direct ad sales for publishers with this exact same model at TechCrowds.com (including representing a few BuySellAds publishers)
