    When did WEG start requiring a c/c for their free sites?

    Credit card, check, or phone verify. I know I'm out of the loop on this stuff but I've never seen it discussed.

      Yeah, I only tried to join one but when you log in they ask for a c/c or checking account for verification. Says the card will never be charged for that transaction but ehh...........

          I checked their site, still says $1.10 to $1.50.

            Since their webmasters stated to join the free sites via their own affiliate links

              That's horrible.

              If they didn't tell webmasters when they made the switch that's even worse. Signups must have dropped 200%+.

                    They do that as an initial upsale and you do get credit for it $10+

                    If you scroll to the bottom you can enter without paying.

                      That's not an upsell, you can't access the free site without doing that? Shitty.

                        if you scroll right to the bottom it says.

                        "Don't have a credit card or checking account? Click here"

                        Then you go to the members area.

                          Ahh ok.

                          As long as the webmaster gets paid before he logs into the member area, that's a good idea.

                                    Right. However WEG "tracks" your customers performance. Makes sure they log in and all that jazz. Wonder if it will affect anyone on that front.

                                    By the way I put in a phone number and name.

                                    We're sorry, but your Phone Number is not in an area which Web Phone Access services can be billed in.

                                            wait no it wouldnt, lol... my traffic has been shit all month
                                            nope, my traffic just sucks

                                            did a test signup, it ask's for the credit card after verifying the email but it still counts the signup..

                                            if you scroll down theres a "No Thanks" link, click that and it will ask for telephone info, but theres still yet another link to bypass that as well..

                                            but yeah, this will stop a lot of surfers from even going to the members area..

                                            kinda smart in a way.. probably saves them a hell of a lot on bandwidth just by confusing the fuck out of their surfers

                                              If you are on the classic program more people would likely cancel I'd imagine. Maybe the immediate upsell makes up for it.

                                                What page are you guys going to? I haven't been prompted for a credit card. I used a dodgy email address though. Is it in the link in the confirmation email or something?

                                                  those pages have always been there, however there are links to get to the free stuff without giving your credit card number or phone number. you get credited with the signup before all that though.

                                                      If they didn't tell webmasters when they made the switch that's even worse. Signups must have dropped 200%+.
                                                      More like 2000 % ...

                                                                I think WEG captures everyone's CC info and stores it..this way you can 1 click join on all the sites...without having to pull out you cc again......Jettis allowed that...dunno if Epoch will unless they have a deal in place beforehand...Email game is a lot tougher than it used to be for sure!

                                                                we still convert them though...

                                                                  You signup for free with just an email then you are prompted to enter cc or check info ( as an upsell ) but is never required to make the initial free email $$$

                                                                  Most of them will credit you for the email plus the upsell .

                                                                  I run plenty of numbers through wegcash and they are pretty close to the other email programs as far as conversions go.
