If I didn't send it to my own stuff? It's hard to say. I'm a data sponge so I'm always looking at who other people are using, especially those who I know are actual money-makers.
Most of the people who were in my program used the big boys, though the type-in domain folks mostly used ARS for whatever reason. Frankly the people I cared the most about, the ones who made the most money in my program, used each other. They were all big programs, so their cross-traffic went to other big programs (vis. MaxCash and ARS's 40-sites-for-1-price exit consoles.)
If I see sites out there that I feel have a good strategy I'll usually just try to create my own in a similar vein. Not to avoid your question, the programs whose ideas/setups I like the most at this point are:
naughtyandlive
sweetapples
lightspeedcash
cemags
joinrightnow (their two non-nude sites)
collegefuckfest
Once I actually started listing them it was harder than I thought. I like all those programs for very different reasons. For example I like lightspeedcash's approach to teaming up with amateur site owners and creating a network of sites that way. I like collegefuckfest because, well, they have some pretty good content. CEMags I like because it offers the upsell option, even though ratios appear to be sucking on confirmed emails. Naughty I like because they have good technology and are using a fairly clever tiered system of billing.
But really I pick up ideas from all over the place. Anyone on here has ideas for paysites/programs/anything they want to implement, definitely hit me up on ICQ or give me a call. I'm sitting on shitloads of content and resources, and cutting deals is what I live for.
