Were these your sites that it didn't work on or were these sites that you were an affiliate for? Just curious....and if these were your sites, did you do away with the trials and the results (signups/conversions) were better?

I worked for the company that put the sites up. And yes we did away with the limited trial and things did pick up slowly from there. Now a year later they are making a small profit from each of them but as Gonzo pointed out we get a lot of people who jump in, rip as much as they can and then cancel right away.

I got the impression from your first reply that these were limited content trials as I recommended. Were they?

Yes, but that is not to deny the effectiveness of a limit content trial. I know NA uses them with a lot of success... for our much smaller sites they were a complete bust. could be due to a lot of factors but our ultimate descision was to kill them and abandon the idea altogether...
