Forgetting the micro ans sub niches that do not have enough non exclusive content going around to make a site and have to have it shot what are the odds of a surfer seeing the same set twice in a paysite?

Let's say I sell a set 10 times in the teen niche, that is 10 times in a niche with 1,000 sites. 1 in 100. So the argument of "The surfer seeing it before" is a bit slim. Unless we are talking about a surfer who never signs up and spends all his time looking at galleries.

Where he sees exclusive content designed to make him to go to the site.

Bad exclusive is shit no matter if it's been seen once or twice, the surfer switches off to it immediately. Look around at all the bad exclusive, put up by people who think all it needs is to be exclusive. Plus newbie affiliates sending traffic to crap sites and getting disillusioned.

In a lot of niches there is only one way to put up a site, it has to be shot for the site because it's not available non exclusive.

Exclusive content allows you to put up a site in a micro niche, of one girl, it allows you to control the action, the quality, the theme. Use this edge and you have a good site, don't use it and you have a bad site.

The fact that it's exclusive will not sell it to a surfer.
