  Old  Launching site, but what kind of site?

Title says it all. I have got the domain, hosting pack, design(s), and 2 ideas.

I don't know whether if I got to launch a "Non-exclusive-submitted" tutorial site, like Good-tutorials for example; or to launch an "Exclusive-content" tutorial site, like many tutorial sites like the ones who submit their tutorials to Good-tutorials (I know that many know about GT, and I'm not here to advertise).

Suggestions are encouraged.

Thanks,
Anmar

If it was me i'd go for exclusive-content, and only use really good non-exclusive content. As you can go to two different sites and they have the same content and for tutorial sites content is king so it doesn't really matter what you go for as long as it is top quality content.

If you can't decide use both. You can always have some good quality exclusive stuff as your main content along with a "user submitted" section to buff things out a bit.

Which one do you want more? Ask a few friends.

I am more keen on the idea of letting content be exclusive, of course it will have some non-exclusive tuts but the majority will be exclusive I guess.

I am done with everything, I'm just trying to fix the (coding) bugs after what I've converted to XHTML.

I'd go the exclusive route. If your site is loaded with exclusive content you can easily advertise your site through all the tutorial listing websites, GT etc. There is no easy way to advertise a site like GT because the market is already very saturated.
