I don't like the email boxes either. At first I felt it was hard enough to get the surfer to pull out his credit card removing "free porn" from his mind only to have him offered more free porn just before signing up.

You have to wonder how many people put the credit card away when introduced this "free porn" email box. I have been in sales all my life and I have seen plenty of buyers balk just as they are about to make the purchase for the silliest of reasons. At least with brick and mortar you can regain control and close the sale. On the web once they leave my site I have no control over it. I have never seen any real numbers on this so I will leave it at that. I understand they have to do this to offer the payout up front that they do.

With that said. One thing you can do if it really bothers you is use a sponsor that allows direct linking to the join page. Many do. Sell the surfer yourself then send them to the join page.
