If you recall a post by doc...he also said that a lot of signups from the review sites don't rebill well. Could be that they are using us free sites to browse, then talking with their buds on the surfer forums, then joining the site, downloading everything, canceling the membership, uploading and then getting their "props" and boosting their "rep" on the surfer forums.
I would highly recommend that every serious webmaster do some googling for forums and message boards. If you push interracial then search for interracial forum or interracial message boards. If you push teen do the same thing...and just go down the line through all of the niches that you promote.
You will see some things that may open your eyes as to what is happening. In my opinion as an affiliate for a long time, it was a big mistake to pull the curtain back and reveal how our business works to the customer. Other businesses don't do that.
When you go to buy some groceries, you have no idea how much it really costs to put that bag of sugar on the shelf and how much the mark up is or how they fool you with "sales" etc. But our customers have been taught everything there is to know.
They no longer see our tgps' as a place where some nice guy listed a bunch of free porn. They now KNOW how I make my money. And they no longer see review sites as some nice "consumer reports" website meant to "help" them. They now know exactly what it is.
Revealing everything about our business makes most of our marketing strategies fall completely flat.
