Don't assume what you think is correct actually plays out in the numbers.
Less content but all exclusive, matching the style of the site, preferably all shot by the same person retains better than sites containing tons of non exclusive content.
I have numbers telling me this is the case, it is not my opinion.

Thanks for the rubish comment -
I run a pro photo studio employing an ex magazine photographer (Playboy) and I have run pay sites since 1996 -
What's your experience at running paysites?

Both of you are ignoring the point of my post. I'm saying the fact it's exclusive is not enough, it has to be good exclusive. And how do I know? Because I have picked up the business from people shooting exclusive crap.
Exclusive is not enough, it has to be GOOD exclusive.
There are lots of newbies out there reading these threads and go away thinking "All I need is to pick up a camera shoot the local crack whore and it's sorted" Wel is ain't and you guys know that, so when you say "Exclusive" add the word GOOD.

You employ an ex Playboy photographer? Well your stuff is good and he may have shot for Playboy. If the exclusive is of your standard it will sell. Unfortunately few people in the world can shoot that level. So again "Good Exclusive" sells, bad doesn't.
