Hey Russ,
I have an example of a subscription version of this model.
I've been doing some work for Kesmai Corporation here in Charlottesville VA.
Kesmai is a Multi-player gaming company. They run GameStorm, a subscription
online gaming aggregation hub, which showcases their own games (airwarrior,
aliens-online, and on and on) and others such as WarCraft, Quake, and the Heat.net
games.
GameStorm has deals in place with a number of high-traffic online partners to
guide users to GameStorm in exchange for a portion of subscription fees. It's
really a very slick model: GameStorm gets subscribers, Partners get acquistion
fees.
The following is one of a number of acquisition sites gamestorm has in place, each
can be co-branded such that users registering through a co-branded page credit the
partner organization.
http://www.godzillaonline.com/home.cgi/FOXWORLD
In this case, anyone registering for GameStorm by way of this page will credit
FOXWORLD with an acquisition - they get fees and a bounty.
The same process works for all of their acquisition pages:
http://www.troopersonline.com/home.cgi/FOXWORLD
www.aliensonline.com/home.cgi/FOXWORLD
www.jacknickonlinetour.com/home.cgi/FOXWORLD
www.airwarrior.com/home.cgi/FOXWORLD
www.legendsofkesmai.com/home.cgi/FOXWORLD
I hope that's a good example for you.
Best Regards,
Josh Chernila
