i have reviewed most of the PPS sites i'm aware of and i can tell you that - with a few exceptions - customer satisfaction generally is not exactly their first concern. why should this worry you? because unhappy surfers - or even worse, guys who feel ripped off - are not going to be so quick to pull out their credit cards next time around.

also in all my years in the business, i've only found a small handful of PPS sites that sell as well as my list of revshare sites that sell and retain well. and last, there are still sites out there that retain really well. you can ask other webmasters or just experiment a little.

also how you market the sites could be a problem. i'm not saying it is but i am saying that i promoted 3 tv sites and had truly amazing retention for years along with initial sales of 1:200 to 1:300 from gallery traffic.. my buddy had plenty of the same type of traffic but he sold the same sites at 1:1200 to 1:1500 and virtually none of his members retained.

why not talk to the owners of the sites with the non recurring option and see if they'll make a mirror tour without that option?

in any event, if we all keep sending our traffic to sites that don't update, that use big trailers but small member videos, to sites full of misleading upsells, sites that simply don't provide the content claimed on the tours, to sites that cover their paying members with popups when they exit - soon there are going to be a lot less paying members to go around. is getting paid more worth losing a lot of longtime income?
