It does indeed make sense that unless one of your trademarks is to offer discounts, they make most sense if you do them for a limited period, like a summer discount. And would probably work well for a limited area of the page as a sort of preview, like you mention.
Agreed! As a free site being the go to guy for deals isn't a bad thing. It sucks for the paysite to give up that power but hey you have to do what you can to make it worthwhile.

I distinctly remember us having a meeting to discuss the profitability of review sites that offered discounts. We decided to keep them mostly because of my relationship to the review site owners. My staff were always at me to cancel them all and they probably were right from a business point of view.
