if u are small but experienced at generating and buying your own traffic in good numbers then non-exclusive is probably your best bet.
Good point. So if you're small and have $40,000 to spend on content give it a shot.

There are few good non exclusive shooters left, we are now feeding off the DVD market to a large extent. Still a few and still making more money than exclusive shooters. Or the content would not be on many sites.


The big programs make more money because they have more money and more traffic. not because of the content, other than having more money to buy exclusive and keep out the new guys competing with them.

You like me sell exclusive and non exclusive so don't have a bias, where is your non exclusive content store?
