I don't know about you, but when I'm working, especially doing some form of research I can easily visit in excess of 40 websites or so a day and probably hundreds a month, having to pay up for each individual one could get expensive not be mention it would be a serious inconvenience. And how do I know if a site is worth signing up for if I have no idea of it's content?

Remember the site expertsexchange.com? The Q&A site that put their answers behind a paywall, now remember how stackoverflow ate their lunch with a few small unobtrusive adverts.

I actually do find plenty of useful content on small websites, phpBBs & blogs through google. Sites with unique content tend to rank well especially if you are searching for specific terms.
