review sites produce signups but everybody tells me they are horrible at converting and rebilling - and you can see why - the review sites encourage cancelling.

do you think they truly "encourage" cancelling. perhaps they are just making sure the surfers don't fall into the pitfalls that are out there... especially with sites that make it near impossible to cancel. there are a few sponsors on GFY that have had 404 pages where their cancel pages should've been. perhaps the review sites are luring the surfers into a sense of security that does the job of converting surfer into member because the surfer nows feels that the review site is on THEIR side... cause we all know that many Sponsors don't give a damn about the member once they've paid. zero support. stale content. bait & switch's, etc. Once an affiliate/reviewer sends a signup, it's the sponsor's job to retain that member. if the majority of members are cancelling after 1 month, isn't that the sponsor's fault/burden? I don't see review sites (maybe I missed it) encouraging members to cancel before trials end or saying "cancel after 1 month to explore more of our recommended sites", etc... if review sites conducted business that way (to boost pps rev) they would cease to exist because their affiliate account would get banned & they'd be exiled from the industry.

but I may be misguided/misinformed (or it could be the Citron&7 ), so please elaborate...
