Pre-checked cross-sales that aren't obvious?
And just because someone else does it, doesn't mean it's ethical or honest. If you're trying to use that as an argument then you surprised me.

Paycom is simply offering paysites the ability to do cross-sales and this is a legitimate means of driving additional revenues. In fact, a lot of people (myself included) depend on this business model such that sponsors can continue paying the rates they do to webmasters.

You're a really great guy Charles and not meaning any harm by this, but the reason you're fending for pre-checked cross-sales is you make your money from them - your business model depends on them, your living depends on them.

If you truly hate cross-sales, then simply don't offer them. I wouldn't go on a rampage because a processor offers this legitimate ability to maximize revenues/profits.

Don't you think it would be better though if programs had quality paysites that surfers signed up to, and THEN retain them by them being updated with quality non-cookie cutter content, and THAT is how programs maximize profits for themselves and you??
Once again, your business model doesn't allow for that, but in general this would be true.
