The only sites that appear to have a consistent edge are those based around a personality or in "lifestyle" niches. In the mainstream, successful novelty sites do better for a while. But then novelty wears off...

There are a lot of strategies around, based on assumptions, traditional wisdom, perceived logic: whatever you want to call it. Since none have been very effective, maybe the answer is some serious market research so that we can stop guessing why customers cancel.
