Hey,
Yes, I'm a content provider, but I've been a retail site designer and promoter, and I know that fresh content can be a big expense for a newbie webmaster as well as something that webmasters might cut corners on either in bad times, or in really good times...depending on how they are converting.
Fact is, if you provide your customers with high-quality, non-overexposed, content, that encourages retention, you'll do okay. It doesn't matter if that content is leased, exclusive, licensed, or whatever, if it's what they're looking for, and you can provide a consistent flow of the goods, you have a good chance of keeping them happy and coming back (to you) for more.
On thing we encourage is for webmasters to look into monthly plans that allow him to get a lot of content for a low cost, in comparison to snag and buy single purchases, that only allow for sporadic updates. Consistent photos and quality cannot be underestimated.
We have some great monthly plans, from $99, $199, and $399 that can't really be matched, quality/quantity-wise, and I'd put our stuff up against anybody elses.
It's up to each webmaster to determine which approach works best for him, tons of content of all genres, niche content, etc, and stay consistent.
