I know I should respect my "elders", and I'm sure you've forgotten 10 times as much as I know about this..... but I just don't buy that story. In this very thread wwe've hard about how it takes thousands of hours and millions of dollars to promote her into to what she is today, and now it only takes $9K and a few hours tutelage? And a $48K return on $24K over 2 years is some huge incentive for a program which brings in millions of dollars a year? All of these items can't be true, because some of them contradict eachother.

And maybe I'm being steered wrong, but of every successful webmaster I've spoken to about starting a successful site, while content isn't cheap, it isn't the "overwhelming" expense. And I haven't hear from one single person who's opinion I respected that even if you had free content, that a $9k budget would land you a successful site.

Of course, if what you really mean is that since you're going to own part of it that you're also going to send her a ton of your traffic, which would normally cost an arm and a leg, and you're also going to provide her with all sots of other stuff (scripts, etc), then that's a different story. But it would also be a different story from what we are hearing.
