Free Trials - Why did they extinct?

maniac · 2007-06-10, 09:36 AM

Recently there are almost no paysites that offer free trials on their join page. But in the past the picture was quite different. A major part of the adult paysites out there use to have free trials (I wasn't even a webmaster back then

).

What do you think, why did the free trials extinct?

Recently? Sure, if you're talking in terms of

I think they went away around 2003 or so (and were replaced by $1 trials) because there were too many charge backs with the CC companies (it's hard to dispute a $1 followed up by a $30 charge compared to charging a CC 3 days after you got the info for a new transaction)

Very true too many chargebacks, the surfers would get hit with a 30 bill and chargeback with their cc companies!

0 trials are still alive and kicking but not too many sposnsors use them anymore...

one thing I have learned is to check to make sure you get paid for the free trial signup, not when the surfer converts to a paid membership.
It's not always in the TOS, either.

btw, Wegcash has free trials too, as well as no cc free join sites.

hmmm.. wouldn't that be Pay Per Active as opposed to Free Trial?

Viper - yes it is - however many programs call them free trials and thats why ponygirl was emphasizing the checking of the terms - some sponsors tend to "mislead" a little when it comes to those by using inappropriate names for their programs

yep, yep

I'm pretty sure that happened to me, although I can find absolutely nowhere on the site that it says this. so I just packed up & moved on
