its silly to say boycott one of the top 3 search engines we must learn and adapt , but i suspect they will crawl heavily for free for only a XX period and then we will see what happens
take the following possible scenario

major free crawl for first 6 months to buld dbase
then major free crawl only every 3 months

so free sites no new pages in or refresh for 3 months
pfi then has advantages re tuning and 48 hr refresh

PFI pages would gain
if they went this way serps would just be 3 months staler
My concern is the following like many informational sites only 5% of pages possibly earn income so 95% don't I will not go PFI route unless i knew that pages that were not PFI would be included
My experience with INK leads me to these concerns
maybe TIM could clarify that some of the problems we saw with INK PFI will not occur

Like many webmasters I realise the free lunch of only free traffic is over but I for one do not wish to be shafted because I tried something in PFI and find what is in theory viable combined with free traffic
makes the rest of my site go MIA
and untill I can see this will not happen I will stay clear
