Can you predict which paysite will convert on freesites?

Good points so far, I'll add my .02.

First, the title of the thread. No, you cannot predict it unless maybe you can see into the future. When I choose a site to promote from a paysite, I figure I'm going to try them all at some point, so I start choosing sites randomly based on:

-*no particular order*-
1. How good is the content the sponsor provides for this paysite?
2. Are there any eye candy ads/banners I would like to use.
3. Look at the top converting sites of entire portfolio, try highest converters first.
4. Can I sell in that niche?
5. Are the tours designed well?
6. Does the members area suck or is it totally amazing?

Just a few things I look at...
