Doubtful. Hell most mainstream sites are just now starting affiiates programs. Even Wal-mart has an affiliate program.
Problem is 3 fold,
A) Paying $35 to affiliates for a $5 three day trial. Can anyone here name a mainstream site that pays affiliates MORE than what a sell is worth?
B) recurring billing( as in re-billing a cusotmer because he cancelled on day 3 of his 3 day trial because your terms say you have to do it within 24 hours ). And sponsors wonder why people charge back.
And rebilling in gerneral. Let face it if someone wants to rebill that should be HIS choice. Hoping he forgets and then hoping he doesn't charge it back is bad business.
C) Too high prices. Who in their right mind will continually pay $30-40 for a porn membership? People can't afford that. PPV model will probally be the future.
