I'm sure some people might be SE Gurus and do just that but I think most of those paysites use TGP galleries, Free and AVS sites to promote themselves.

Affiliates used to bring in the majority of signups for me before these 3rd party billing companies built in a affiliate system for all the paysites. Now everybody and their brother has a affiliate system. The affiliate market is oversaturated now (in my opinion)
My paysites bring in the majority of signups from search engines, advertising and plain old link trading with other sites. The people I know with paysites do the same thing.
I'm pretty sure alot of the paysites out there use freesites and TGPs for promoting. But even if freesites and TGPs went away, I don't think it would even hurt those companies that much. Any paysite that relys on one main source of marketing, is risking alot. It's like the 3rd party billers nowadays. If a paysite relys on one 3rd party biller, they are risking alot.
