Content is and always will be key

Internet is relatively new media outlet....its been proven with books,mags, newspapers, radio, movies, tv, movie rentals, and so on...people come for the content....take GFY for example you think people come here for sig views or the content on the board? its probably about 80/20 for the content. But they do exist hand in hand...

You need both to be a success. And both need to be worked hard.

Content that is special will in itself generate conversions and that's what pays the bills.

But then traffic that's special will do the same.

The days of it being a pure numbers game are coming to an end. You can't compete with Tubes on that path.

The only people who need to BUY content are pay site owners. If you are a gallery builder or free site/blog builder, there is a TON of FRESH sponsor content you can use. I get tons of new FHGs every week from the few sponsors I have. It is an unnecessary expense if you don't operate a pay site.

You don't NEED to license content to get traffic. TGPs and Link Lists use the content of those who submit their galleries and free sites. And then there is sponsor content. I would say TRAFFIC HANDS DOWN.
