Like I said target audience. If you want to make money: write for the masses.
Now on my previous post, I guess I should have added, if you are an author trying to break into the best seller charts, do not be dissing publicly the authors that made the list legitimately. It just makes you look petty and might turn off some readers.

Now HarryT, I have a question. Can you define great literature?
