It's all good. I wouldn't expect a TGP/Promotion site owner to really care about this analogy really. You depend on them (programs) giving away as much free porn as possible to make your money, and that's fine. This conversation doesn't really apply to your business model per se. You are the television show in this example. People come back to your "channel" to watch the free show and you depend on the paid ad spots and affiliate sign ups to make your dough. I'm saying that sign ups to affiliate programs would be higher if the samples were given away a little less liberally. The standard sales model for ANY product is tease the potential buyer into submission.
If car dealerships used the porn biz mentality, they'd let you test drive every car on the lot for 3 months each, hoping and praying that you'd finally decide to buy one. What you end up with is a lot full of used cars.
