ok, here is my idea:

there is people promoting the paysites with all kinds of different traffic sources. why not give the option to the webmaster what kind of signup method to choose?

some types of traffic would be more profitable when you send to a non-trial signup page, and some would do better on a free or 3$-5$ trial signup page.
also you can give different options for the cost of the membership. like $20-$30-$40 per month for example. and the promoter gets to choose which one.
for example, if you get really high quality traffic, you can send your visitors to a $40/mo no-trial signup page. or if you think you have too many freeloaders, you can send them to a free trial page and make the profit from the people who forget to cancel their memberships.

i am not sure if this can cause any problems, but i believe it can make things more profitable.

this idea is of course for partnership programs, not pay-per-signup.
