What in your opinion, or anyone elses, is a happy median? How do you leverage the free content to get more affiliates / traffic, without shrinking the pool of potential customers by "giving away the farm", if you will?

My biggest concerns with our content is where it will be seen, and if it will be used to genuinely promote our products, or some other company instead. For the most part, the former issue can be controlled, to a certain extent; my bigger concern is the latter, and without manually verifying sites regularly, how else do you make sure your content isn't being used to promote some other company - possibly a competitor?
