If they're interested, and are ready to pull out their credit card, I don't believe that spending $3.99 on a "tricky" 2 day trial vs $29.95 for 30 days matters. In fact, I believe that the trial pushes them to cancel their membership right away to avoid additional charges.
Other programs don't like to trade exit traffic with us either because we don't offer trials.
I wish the industry would just drop trials...they're a pain!

I absolutely agree Ed...especially this part "content is key"
Frankly, I only been in a few paysites over the years that I thought were worth the price of admission. Not surprisingly, if memory serves correctly...I think all of them were monthly joins only. The cookie cutter el cheapo sites almost invariably don't have anything worthwhile inside to keep the surfer recurring. Being the slut I am...I've still promoted those sites, but I think those days are fast coming to a close for me.
