That answer depends on the specific site. For a blog site I'd need to change one picture and any links. For a tube I'd need to change one video and any links. It's an important part of the reason why the images I use in things like model directories are independent from a rights perspective from things like specific blog posts or videos. Also, keep in mind my sites are predominantly text based. Every word on my sites is handwritten and owed by me. I never user sponsor supplied text. It's much better for SEO my way and it means it never has to be changed if a sponsor is changed.

There are some instances, like reviews on my review site, where content is specific to a single site. In those instances a lower performing sponsor is kept up, and I don't give bad scores based on bad payouts. However, a sponsor with a couple low performing sites won't get another site from their network reviewed quickly, won't be featured on the homepage and things of that sort. Sponsors that go out of business still have to have all their reviews removed or heavily rewritten for other purposes at my expense. That's part of my cost of doing business.

If your business model does not allow you to easily change sponsors and you are unable to afford removing dead content, you are doing things wrong and may want to seriously rethink your strategy. Contact me any time if I can be of service. My info is in my sig or you can visit www.EngineFood.com
