Depending on your traffic (and the quality, content and updates inside Amateur Pages), you should get over 60% of trials converting to monthly memberships. I don't know how well Amateur Pages retains its members, but I think 3-4 months is about the average for most large paysites.
Also, I would recommend the partnership program over the per click program as payments are done by a third party (Ibill is money in the bank).
Where did you cull out those numbers from Naomi? I haven't seen Lens's numbers but I do know what industry averages for large programs are and those don't match up at all.
Thought I'd edit and mention this -- in no way do I doubt that a specific program or other might get those numbers, perhaps a smaller amateur site, but I would never see someone give a reseller those types of numbers, getting their hopes up, and then seeing a program have resellers bitching if it didn't live up to those rather optimistic numbers.
hmm.... sorry Kimmykim I forgot to add a little disclaimer to that post....
Those figures are from my personal experience based on partnership programs I have used in the past (not including AP). Everyone will of course have varied results...
Kimmykim, can you perhaps give us an estimate of the industry average?
