Am I missing a key ingredient here?

I don't think TGP's are getting a free ride. They have their own traffic, which is a valuable commodity.
SEO guys are one google update from watching their numbers go to shit.....that traffic belongs to the search engine not the people who can manipulate the search engine.
TGP's (I'm talking about the good ones, not the pseudo CJ's) have THEIR OWN traffic....just like google and yahoo do.
In 1998 perhaps they were the lowest level on the food chain, when you could make tons of $$ and never give away a single piece of content.
But this is 2004 and they've pretty much taken over.....you seem to be stuck in the past.
Things change, change with them or get left behind.
edited to add my favorite cliche.
Content may be king, but traffic rules. He who has the traffic makes the rules.
