My latest foray into looking at the inside of recent paysite releases tells me a little different story than what most of you remember from a few years ago. I especially was looking at the paysites that were hawking the no trial signups for basically the same reason as Greenie.
I found that a pretty high percentage were basing their model not on what Alex put forward so much of the retention ability confidence, but the upsell confidence. I say this because at least 50% of the links inside the paysite were upsells to something the sponsor made money from - and that 50% was a low number in most cases.
My conclusion was that the retention was probably very low - 2.5 months was no longer a good number.
Best guess here is that these newer sponsors with the no trial are making enough on the upsells inside to cover paying the equivalent of a PPS for the affiliate and that comparing them to a revshare was not a good comparison.
The only outlying sites I saw were highly targetted micro-niches that were not the everyday reality/same old content and feeds sites that comprise most of the no-trial recent entries.
