What percent of surfers type in url?

I think the number is pretty high. If you go to Overture's inventory page, which gives some number based on the amount a key phrase is typed into certain search engines you'll see that some pay sites rate very highly.

If an exact pay site names shows up in search results I'm sure a lot of surfers type them in by name. I can't guess the percentage but I bet it's plenty.

So basicaly, sponsors don't even have to screw affiliates themselves. The surfer does the screwing for them.

That's one way to look at it, but if you promote PPS all those typein sales are factored in to what the sponsor can afford to pay PPS, even when the $1.95 trial surfers never convert.
