The reason I ask is because my program is recurring only, and I pulled your stats for my site:

1:462.5
3 cents a click.


That doesn't count recurring. 2/3rds of the joins you sent recurred at least 1 time.

Any particular reason recurring programs aren't reported?

(Disclaimer: I was only able to view 90 days at a time, so these stats are for the last 90 days of 2003)

Those totals there are the reason I don't include recurring in my totals. Recurring programs are too very hard to judge using the model I use. The initial stats look like shit because it's just a trial (not a lot of money) & it's almost impossible to get an accurate Money Per Click total.

What's the "requirements" for a program to be included in your stats?
x amount of hits, signups, etc?

Okay, I can see how that would be very difficult.

I don't use trials on my sites. I personally can't understand why anyone would. I gave them a try a year ago. The conversion rate on trials vs. the conversion rate on full sales (when no trials are offered) was identical.

People are either going to join.... or they're not. Might as well get them to sign up at full price.

Marius - the only requirement is that I made a sign up :)

It used to be 2 signups, but since I've moved to doing them every 3 months, I dropped it back down to 1.
