I promote ARS pretty faithfully, and I have to admit that this thread made me curious so I signed up to Adult Movie Station. I had been on the site about a year ago also, and I have to say they have made large changes since then. I think I would actually pay for this now (and I would almost never pay for porno online).
I think for the most part sponsors problems with retention being in the toilet stems from the following:
1) First and foremost too much free porn! Go to the hun everyday and you can see all the full on hardcore pics and vids you need ... there is NO incentive to buy when you have shown me the best parts and I already blew my load on your free "samples".
2) Unrealistic claims. I have seen numerous webmasters advertise for a girl, let's call her girl X. Come in and see 11 hours of girl X getting pounded in the ass by insane circus clowns. Also 8025 pics of her screwing ex President Boris Yeltsin. Not to that extent, but I KNOW that many of these girls may be found in a member section, but not to the extent of the claims made by us the webmasters.
3) I have heard Marc De say this before and agree whole heartedly. You have consumers who have figured out the game. They know enough to sign up for a trial, cancel immediately, and then go surf their cheap porn for 3 or 5 days ... then when they get sick or their magazine or DVD again go and sign up and cancel again. It is a vicious cycle really.
I for one feel for these sponsors and think that we are ALL in trouble if many people do not change their ways of marketing, and or sponsors find new ways to change the business model that things work on.
