Now, the problem here is that I chose no-trial links because the model I am promoting does not have sufficient content to warrant a trial. You can view her entire site in an afternoon as it is still new. However, I have had had a fan site on her for years and refer a steady supply of signups to her. But not a lot will recur because of the lack of content given it's early age. Now, with these trials injected onto the sales, I made $1.23 for these things instead of $14.97. Sure I had more sales, but at a whole lt less money and given the nature of the site, there's not much chance of a rebill either.
See my issue?
I'd rather take the chance on my referrals going back than end up with a lousy $1.23 for nothing. In my view, I actually lost money on this versus made money. Thankfully the program own disabled it for me. But it doesn't mean I am any less upset at having trial links injected onto my links that had no trials to begin with.

First, if you think the site sucks so bad it can't support trials, then it can't support rebills either. So they either retain well enough for you to promote them, or they don't.
Most sites even with crap content naturally convert trials at about 20%. If the site has a script, because they are on nats they might, it could easily push the converts to 30%.
It makes no difference how much content they have. So much so, you could give a trial full access to a members area, and simply give them an upgrade button and at least 10% of the people will upgrade.
If a site is doing at least 30% trial to conversion, you will MAKE MORE MONEY, by having those trials. If the site is at 50% with 50% 1st month, you will double your money.
The trick is simple, compound them.
