It would be interesting to see (not sure its possible) how many new people are attracted to Flyertalk by these "fare errors" and their retention rate.
Interesting points...
It would also be interesting to see how much the people who are attracted by these fare errors later contribute to Flyertalk themselves... if someone is a pure bargain hunter and not interested in contributing something to a community, they might as well just sign up for a list where nothing is to be contributed...
Also, how much PR does Flyertalk actually get from the fare errors and how much PR goes to entities which use info from Flyertalk, but are not Flyertalk?
