How many places _do_ you have your tree online (I'm not asking you to 
list them), and how often do you update them (or does it vary between 
places)? Do you find keeping them all up-to-date onerous, or not?

FWIW, I uploaded - originally the same GeDCom - to both Ancestry and 
RootsWeb some years ago (before Ancestry took over RootsWeb), but have 
incorporated quite a lot of Ancestry's "hints" into the version on there 
(mainly, only where they agree with the research I've done on my own 
tree since). I'm unlikely to upload a new (and now much bigger) GeDCom 
to Ancestry, since they provide no means to do so without losing all 
links. I think these are the only two places I've published a tree (I 
think I did upload something to the site whose name I forget that is 
based in Israel, but didn't pursue it as their free implementation 
limited it to only a tiny number of people, and I didn't see any gain 
for me in paying them).
