i will say this again.
ultimately, content pricing is not determined by webmasters and content producers.
it is determined by surfers, i.e. conversions.
content that converts will command a good sales price.
content that does not convert will be on the blowout sale.
it doesn't matter what "we" think, or if we think our stuff is great.
it only matters what the surfer thinks.
because that's where the money comes from.
interestingly, the cost of content and how it converts is not necessarily a linear relationship.
how beautiful the girl is and how it converts it not necessarily a linear relationship.
you can tell what converts by testing, by using the tools of scripts which rotate content based on clicks, and if you pay attention you can find out with very good certainty which images are valuable and which are not. this is fluid, and what is popular varies over time, it is really stable for a very short time, maybe 60 days, then new stuff rotates to the top. the trick is to keep your hand on the pulse of the surfer, whose attention wavers constantly.
the results may surprise you.
