Another example of this is at TVJobs.com - for almost a year and a half,
TVJobs provided job listings free of charge to anyone with the capability
to browse the site.  But once they made a name for themselves as a
reputable site from which good job information could be obtained, they
went to a half-and-half system.  Now they have all their information on
markets, O-and-O's, media groups, et cetera all free of charge, but if you
want to see the job listings you have to subscribe.  I believe the fee is
nominal, but you still have to be a subscriber in order to see the
plethora of postings.  (Of course, you can still post your resume for
free, though!)
