I agree... I think that most people "assume" PPS has a trial is because the vast majority of sites don't convert as well on a full priced membership. So in order for all those crappy sites to make a sale, they have to offer trials.

Full priced memberships DO in fact convert if it's content the surfers want and the tour is good. For example, I have one site I'm making $35 PPS on that only has a $29.95/month price and it's converting at 1:674 all time. That's comparable to sites that have trials.

I don't give a shit if a site has a trial or not (unless it's revshare since I have to count on it rebilling to make me the real money) as long as it's conversion rates are decent. At the end of the day, that's all that matters. $$ per click.
