why are sites not using the Groupon model to sell?

I wonder if the Groupon model could not be used to promote websites.

I know some have set up fake Groupon feel sites to promote adult sites, but they are not (from what i can see) real ones.

I guess it would have to work somthing like this.

the site would make an offer for that month or day.

by this i mean the site emails its affiliates the offer - the affiliates would put up there promo text with the link to the site offer.

i have not seen sites do this.

of couse it can be done more advanced in the way Groupon works. by this to get the offer people need to tell others of the offer.

it would (or should) mean that if the offer was subject to say 10 people joining, then it would mean 10 customers quick. and the affilie should see sales increase too.

groupon relies on people telling friends in order to make the deals work

no one is going to message their buddies with a 'check out these trannies we get a deal if we all buy a membership'

Quoted for truth and + points to dnull for pointing out the impulse buy angle.
