Timothy,
If I could afford to pay $35-$40 per trial sign-up without any consoles I would do it already. I don't like consoles either but unfortunately that's part of the business plan
Our enter console hides behind the main browser; I think they called it "pop up behind". Maxcash, silvercash and many others programs are using it. The pop up behind console doesn?t/shouldn?t affects your sign-up ratios at all because the users will not see the console until they leave the main site.
