Quick calculation (disregarding processing fees, chargebacks, things like that):

100 3 day trial signups for Ams. Teens x $2.95(cost per trial) = $295.00 total sales
50% conversion (say half of the trials convert to monthly) = $1747.50 converted sales
100 webmaster payouts of $30.00 = $3000.00 payout
$1747.50(Actual sales) + $295.00(initial trial sales) - $3000.00(payout) = -$957.50 (negative!)

Besides shaving, how the hell else would these companies be able to pay out so much on trial signups? In the regular world, if I paid a salesman $50.00 for every $3.00 item he sold for me, I wouldn't be in business very long. Why is it that people let this shit go in the adult world? Strange.

because you're paying for a customer. its up to the site to retain. if the avg surfer that joined the site for a trial stayed 4 months that would be 142.75 in membership fees alone. then add on any upsells in the members area and it would be well over 150 per. that 30 bux paid to webmasters isn't a whole lot.
