Thurbs, I understand all this, having worked with NATS at an affiliate backend for quite some time. I have no beef with Intellichat... they offer a service and sponsors either add it or not. This too I understand.
However, what i am attempting to determine here is to just who is now using Intellichat and how it is implemented. Some sites are too small for trials, their content is simply not enough to warrant most people recurring. Thus the reasoning in my opening post. I specifically used non-trial links for that site given it is young, but growing, and it has limited content. There is insufficient content to reliably expect a decent recurring ratio. Thus, intercepting an exit click to offer a three day trial in lieu of a regular revshare conversion on a site you could view the contents of in an afternoon, is hardly worth offering a trial on via Intellichat.
And therein lies my issue. For sites I KNOW will not retain well enough yet due to content limitations, I want the option to NOT have trials exists from programs like Intellichat. I'd rather eat dirt than be given a pittance for a scooped trial sale that won't convert well, if at all.
Instead, I'd prefer to take my chances that the surfer i referred came back later and bought at full price, with my cookie.
