TRIALS SUCK?
 

I saw that some sponsors offer a pay per sign up for like a 1 day or 3 day trial.

Most of these websites work with ccbill and such, so say a user cancels a trial. Would he not be eligable to sign up for a trial to another sponsor who also uses cbill?

Like would this not affect the potential amount of signs up I could get because he/she cancelled their trial and now cant sign up for another niche that they would prefer???

Also, do the sponsors pay me if that user cancels their trial? Then I rather not promote trials, to be dissapointed by a lot of cancels because the user got what he wanted for 3 days and then cancels... I ask this because I am afraid if I promote trials that users would keep doing trials for different niches and cancelling them... This means I wont get paid???


I dunno how this all works, so please help me :(

To my knowledge I've never had any trouble promoting 3 day trials. I don't know anything about CCBill but with the sponsors I promote when a surfer buys a trial I get paid. If he keeps doing that with the same sponsor they may be able to not accept him anymore. Doesn't affect me, I've already been paid. If CCBill can prevent him from buying trials because he keeps cancelling them fuck him. There's plenty of other |fish in the sea.

Hello. To my knowledge if someone cancels a trial ccbill does not usually prevent them from signing up at another site instead. That wouldn't make a lot of sense really.

You are catching on about trials. Here is my current opinion (may not be something everyone agrees with) on this:

Use trials:

-with TGP, Forum, toplist, or other low quality "free porn" traffic.
-With PPS (Pay per signup) when you are paid for the trial (check this)

Do not use trials:

-with High quality traffic such as search engine traffic.
-Revshare/Partnership programs.

about them doing trials repeatedly and you not getting paid, this is a reason to use PPS with low quality "free porn" type surfers. Also depending on how the sponsor is set up it is possible to only get paid for the first trial. Not the second or third. It depends on how they use cookies and such.

various revenue streams
 

With us, even if the trial member cancels, you still get paid in full. What we have to do is find a way to make money of the new member even if he cancels within his 3 or 4 day trial period. If he's in our members section, there are many ways to recoup or add to the ledger. Good advice, ask questions to webmasters who are in a similar situation as yourself. Ours is a helpful community. Being a pariah in the straight word makes it easier to feel at home in the 'life'. Best of luck my friend...

Unless the members that you're sending keep canceling because they don't like the members area - then you get changed over from PPS to Revshare - right Mister E?

absolutely
 

Right Greenie! I Love those clickable option boxes. Greenie, u heading her for the Webmaster Access East show?

Clickable option boxes? What the fuck are you talking about?

UW! we need a new icon/smilie thingy... with 'ideas' flying over the head of the character...

Something else you can do is send half of your traffic to a trial and half to a non-trial tour (if the sponsor has it available) and see which performs better with your traffic.

You should always be tracking your traffic closely and seeing what works best for you.
