Over a 6 month period I calculated that the average customer accross the board stayed at these sites for 1.21 months. The best site of the six kept members for a whopping 1.43 months.

The fact is that these sites (including Eva's) do bring back the same customers over and over again. However, people are staying for shorter periods of time per signup.

The reason is that there is just too much other shit out there to see. Why stay at one site for six months when you can download everything from a member's area in less than a week. So now the average customer signs up and cancels right away. He grabs and/or watches everything he wants in his 30 days and when that's up he moves on to another site. If he liked your site then five or six months later he will come back...and guess what, this time he knows the URL and bypasses the affiliate.

This is why people are moving to revshare. However, programs like mine will continue to make money with PPS because I get a shitload of type-in traffic from previous members.

great fucking post, a lot of sites keep a member for a month and then he comes back every couple months later, with revshare you never get credit for that.
