Right, but you can cancel the free trial, and still keep the AVS pass. And the disclosure on both of thier join forms is very open and honest. (Unlike the ones where you get a free avs pass IF you pay $40 a month to a paysite)

Fantasyman's free trials convert to monthly at $50 a pop, and the trial to monthly conversions I get with those sites is pretty close to the same as I get with other partnerships.

I don't think free trials will go away, but the rules about disclosure will probably tighten up for sure.
Yes, but you've missed the point. They pay per sale - whether the user cancels before he rebills or not. FNP for instance pays $15 per. The rebill is $50, for a totally shit site (so no rebills after the first).. Top that off with the fact that they don't OWN the site (Last I checked it was a sexhit site).. So they're actually affiliates. So they get a fair chunk of per sign money.. But is it enough to cover 3 or 4 out of 5 of their trials cancelling? If it's 4, that means they paid out $60 to webmasters (or shaved) - and lost $10..

Like I said, I don't see them lasting much longer. Disclosure will kill the biz.

Cheers,
