Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I suspect it's more like 70-80% of the people will sign off and never return...

I think the idea of an ebook sold for $10 about a school is a brilliant idea. Sound similar to ClearAdmit.com - only from the student/admit's perspective.
What would happen in 2 -3 years (or more) when M7 schools have 12 guides so no one really wants to write one for it, even though they may have useful information not in any of those 12.
If there was a time limit on how long a user's guide was available...such as if you're a student entering fall of '09, then your guide gets taken down Dec. 2009. This would make room for new admits to place their information on the site Jan' 2010 for people applying fall of 2010 to buy.
(Devil's Advocate)
What if you have someone that writes an absolutely fabulous guide? The point is to generate quality material. If something is quality and really helps applicants, it doesn't seem right to impose an arbitrary deadline on that ebook's availability.
My Conclusion:
Pretty much anyone that gets into a top 15 school is going to be making 6 figures after graduation. We're already poor (in comparison) so I think we should keep contributing out of the goodness of our hearts. We need to develop the Wiki part of the site with this type of information. Can we give kudos to people that contribute to the wiki part of the site? If we can, I still don't think there is a great way to turn that effort into cash.
Sorry, more questions than answers.

For what its worth, I like just doing what I do for free -- its removes the obligation element, which, quite frankly, given my schedule is a good thing. Plus, I feel good when people msg me about how X helped them or how happy they are about Y and Z.
When you put money into the equation, the whole expectations thing kinda gets skewed and suddenly the dynamic changes - people start demanding a higher level of responsiveness / accuracy etc (which is certainly fair). In any case, I figure I probably make as much on people I meet for a chat who end up buying me a coffee or a beer as I could off an ebook anyway -- but in that case, it is a gesture of kindness on their part, rather than some kind of transfer of service.
