Making paysites that are as sticky and content-rich as tgp's?

I'm talking about having enough free content on a paysite that it retains the shit out of surfers tgp-style, but is teasing enough that it eventually sucks them into joining.

Paysites with free content that updates weekly/daily, and previews of the members section which are also updated weekly/daily, so that return visitors are happy to keep coming back, but are also constantly bombarded with "what they're missing out on".

I've seen a few sites like this out there, and created a few myself, but I'm wondering why this isn't a more widely-used format? Maybe because affiliates aren't interested in sending a surfer to a site which he will bookmark but possibly not join for months and months? Permanent ref cookies would of course be a must.

Thoughts?
