Can someone explain to me the logic or business math behind charging $4.95 or whatever for a trial and then paying adult webmasters $35 for the trial sign up?

[Note: I'm not complaining, I just want to see what calculation goes into the mix]

A related topic: some big sites are moving to "active accounts" model--ie., you only get your referral cash if the referred user signs up for a REGULAR account instead of the trial membership.

It would have been nice of we were told about this, but oh well - I will go with the flow. I notice Max Cash increased their Trial to $4.95 and that ARS says they are testing new prices - such as for Voyeur Dorm.

What does this mean? Are $2-$3 Trials going or gone for Pay Per Signup? Max Cash people - have you really noticed an INCREASE is sales - as Max Cash claims?

I haven't been around that long - could someone let me know the history of major sponsors and what the trial price has been?
