AP recurring ratios
 

Hello everyone. I am fairly new to the board, but have been on porncity in the past. I've been webmastering for about a year but took a break and am just getting back into it.

I have a question about Amateur Pages. I have used them quite a bit in the past, but i do not have enough signup history to answer my question, so i'm gonna ask some of you.

On average, what percentage of the AP trial memberships recurr to a full-month membership?
Also, is the trial more likely to roll over to a full month if the signup came from Link List or SE traffic rather than TGP, or does this not matter at all?

The reason i ask is i am getting my paid hosting going and am getting away from free-hosts, and i am wondering if i should use AP on the pay host, or stick with something that is a pay-per signup deal, like ARS. I have had pretty good success with AP in the past on getting the signups, but i am trying to figure out an estimate of how many of them trials will roll over to a full month to see which would be more profitable for me.

Any help and past experiences would be helpful! Sorry if this topic has been posted before (im not too sure). http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

AP and the Wetlands have the highest member retention out of all my sponsors.
I'm not a lover of per sign-up proggys, never had a lot of luck with them apart from Maxcash so I use either a ppc or recurring on most of my pages, the ppc assures that I do at least make something from every page I build.

Don't know if it helps any..

Yea that helps. I know once they recurr they usually stay for awhile, but i'm trying to get a rough estimate of how many rebill after that 3- day trial.

Thx J

My experience is close to 70% rebill to a full month from trial, but I think my ratio is a little higher than the average, which is around 50%.

Thx wizzo! Yea 70% seems like a lot but i'm sure its possible. What traffic is that from?

Hey justin, was checkin out out some of your sites. How does your amateur lodge site do? You got that on the search engines?

I ve been a bit lazy with the se's of late, it gets hits from most se's bit not shitloads, it get more search term hits from black penis, the reason is I had a story page on there which got picked up every where for some reason, stories a great content for se's cause you can really target you keywords and never get knocked for page content.
I couldent put a figure on the ammount that recur to a full month AP but it's probably a good 50%-60%, which ain't too bad.
