I think AOL proved the value of trials a long time ago. Of course, it is a little different, but if porn sites gave something that people needed each month - they could rebill forever.
And as far as webmasters go, yes a sponsor may make a great % profit, but % profit doesn't matter if they already have the infrastructure in place. I fail to see how my comments about the rise in trial price make any difference here.
A sponsor who has tons of webmasters can get more content, make their site better, andhopefully get more rebill than a sponsor who does everything on their own.
It is all supply and demand. Nothing more and nothing less. There will ALWAYS be sponsors that pay webmasters and I suspect there will always be sponsors that pay per trial, and so on. The price will go up and down, but there are enough sponsors there - that one will step in to fill the void others leave behind. That is as long as they can still make a profit - and the laws stay the same.
If SOME people want free trials and SOME webmasters want to promote it and SOME credit card processor is willing to do it - it will be there.
