Varius - your post made me wonder if your good full signup ratio is due to the fact that it's an adult dating site and not an adult site and if so, have you considered or already experimented with raising the lowest available monthly membership fee even more to one of the standard adult site fees of $29.95, $34.95, or $39.95 to see if the signup ratio / retention would remain good enough to make it even more profitable?
and vice versa - have the PPS program owners in here experimented with the approach of offering lower membership fees without the trials. And if so, why haven't you adopted that approach... I've seen some big adult sites offer the low memberships of $19.95 and $29.95... like danni.com for example, just wondering why not all?
Has it something to do with the strategy of collecting e-mails from as many confirmed credit card holders as possible and later trying to upsell them something/anything through e-mail marketing?
Also wondering why there is such a huge membership fee difference between adult dating sites and adult sites, where the adult dating sites, imho, from the visitor's perspective have a more desirable/real-live content, hence could ask more for the membership and the adult site signups are more based on spontaneousness of the visitor.
