can i get any compensation for my time and ideas? serious question.

or am I just suppose to lay it all out here for gfy rep and "i told you so". Offer me something, and keep the information strictly between us if you decide to use it. If you don't think there is any value, keep your money. Hell you don't even have to pay me up front. If you don't see the value in it and you really don't use it then I wouldn't expect you to pay for it.

To do it right I would need an hour or so of your time so I could understand what your current philosophy is, long term planning, completely understand your current business model and how your sites are setup.
You might not want to make the changes I suggest. It will take, commitment and will cost you some money. Some people are already in the going out of business mode, where they just cut costs down to a bare minimum don't add any new content and live off of those rebills as long as they can. For someone like that obviously they not going to want to make any of the changes I would suggest. The person would have to be committed and want to do what it takes to turn their business around.

I would spend some time going through your sites. I would have a bunch of question for you to see if you are willing to make certain changes and if you have the resources to do it. It's not as simple as "go do x,y,z... this will work for everyone". I would be spending quit a few hours on an initial report for you. However the general logic is pretty much the same just applied differently to different sites based on the nature of the sites and what they are capable of doing.

its up to you or anyone else for that matter if they want to take a shot and get another perspective. Honestly, though if you banking on your only option to survive on fighting content theft and winning, i am sorry to say the chances of that happening are very very slim. I'd be exploring other options to try to get sales up instead.
