I don't take any offense to that. They did thrive on Free Trials. But, how does that make any difference in this much off topic part of the thread?
Like I said, it really isn't the linklist owner's fault. I mean you work hard to develop that amount of trust from the surfers. I'm just telling you what I saw and what my theory was about it.
Let's try this with linklist owners. And only with larger programs that offer and you use Revshare. Check how your retention is with links directly from the linklist itself. And if you can, check the retention of your linklist to your freesite to sponsor. I think you would see that the retention from the first is much less than the second. Free Trials, any kind of trials and no trials.
All I am really saying is, freesites make a lot of money from linklist traffic

And, retention is great. Everyone should be happy about that
Where the hell is MikeB when you need him?

He and I both talked about it a few times when we were both at CE. There were a few people he hated to have to tell they were being switched from PPS to Revshare because of this phenomenon.
