My stats show that many of these sites with the numerous prechecked cross sells have the worst retention... You're talking bullshit when you suggest that a program does not resort to cross sells if retention is poor.

I have sites where I sent members and no cross sells exist and they retain 3 months, 6 months, a year, whatever while on the other hand I have these big name programs with giant networks with multiple cross sells never converting beyond trial or not staying more than initial monthly and even numerous chargebacks.

Cross sells prechecked or not are a given with any pps but I believe they are a potential sign of poor rebills if seen on a revshare site... I also feel that these prechecked cross sells are the cause and reaons for poor retention due to the possibility of the member being pissed off as a result.
