I prefer revshare for most sites (if they look like they'll retain decently - most 'reality' and HC sites do not)

Actually what I would like to find is a program that offers revshare, no trial options, and a discounted monthly rebill. By this I mean a site that for instance charges $35 the 1st month then $9.95 or so each following month. It would only be $5/rebill on revshare but the site would probably retain like nothing else.

Those $5 rebills would add up faster by getting alot more recurring memberships than the sites trying to get another full membership fee ($35 or whatever) every month for only a handfull of updates.

I think most people are going to think you're screwing them if you charge them the same amount for an additional 4 updates or whatever that they paid to see the entire archive the first month. I don't know why this hasn't been tried by any of the big programs (maybe it has and has failed?) but is seems like it would generate alot more money in the long term than the usual tactic of hoping the customer forgets they're being charged or trying to keep them interested enough to pay the full amount next month after they bust a nut.
