the more free content the more sales?

Pro: more content means more webmasters promoting the sites
Con: more webmasters promoting the sites can lead to the webmasters not getting listed because of overused content

Pro: it's easier to sell the surfer on the site if you're using hte content from the site
Con: surfers might see the content so much that they think they don't need to join the site

Somewhere inbetween both of those is a happy middle ground

Good answer.

Some say exclusive is the only way to go, then put the contnet on FHGs and kill it.

How about paying webmasters on two levels, one who go and buy content and a lower one for those who want it for free?

One of the problems with free content being given out is that if you have 1,000 webmasters thats a lot of exposure to the sets you have, unless you are buying 10 a day.
