You sir, are correct!

Id rather spend my time figuring out how to join them then worrying about other peoples business practices. WEG is not exactly a fly by night operation (been doing biz with them for 8+ years), so they must be doing something right and staying within the VISA/MC guidelines.

Um....is that the best that YOU can come up with?
Paycom DOES allow their clients to run these offers you idiot. Apparently, you are not one of them.

Timbo,

As the cool kids say "Word" on Point A and Point B.

Shap,

You can always get your own merchant accounts and do as you please - you decide the risk, etc.

Secret #10 We do not make decisions based on someone else?s opinion.
Plenty of people disagreed with our pay site business model when we first started out. But we believed in it and we researched our decision, this is why it worked for us. Just because someone else doesn?t like your idea does not mean it is a bad one. The most important thing you can do for your future is to think through your ideas and research the validity of them. Doing this and coming up with a plan for executing your idea is 100 times more important than worrying what someone else thinks.

Interesting...
and actually pretty solid advice if I must say so myself...
I know I follow that advice...

Oh really? Paycom allows their clients to run free trials that offer pre checked cross sells to paid trials? Interesting. I'm sure rand will be thrilled to here you mentioning that for them.

sicone 10-04-2007 03:06 PM

I think cross sales on the join form are a great tool, but leave them unchecked and let the surfer decide. The truly are not as stupid as they were a few yrs back.

even better are up sales from within the members area

Shap's an idiot? hmm - he seems to own one of the biggest most popular adult paysites on the Net and a pretty big traffic network - you on the other hand run a piece of shit program that is nothing but an upsell mill which no doubt upsells the people whose asses you kiss

buh bye bimbo.

There is no doubt they have perfected their system and know what the fuck they are doing. At the same time I do feel this practice is hurting the future of our industry for companies like ours that run sites based on treating the surfer like a king and giving them the best service and website experience possible.

As I recall, Paycom did allow that. I don't think they do anymore but may have grandfathered clients who were under the 1%. Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure they did allow it. I don't think ccBill ever did.

That is the key part of my argument. THEY DID ALLOW IT! They no longer do. Why would that be? I'm sure it would have nothing to do with the refunds and chargebacks such practices generate.

Ever ordered papa johns online and seen the cross sell to the magazines? Or gone out to eat and they are like, what kind of soup/salad do you want with your meal (although its not included).


Life is one big cross sell/upsell.

Sly 10-04-2007 03:32 PM

I don't know the last time I have seen so many program owners posting in one thread... holy fuck.

Anyone have tranny exit traffic for trade? How about a good deal on 500 Mbps? How about someone to buy a new 60 inch plasma for?

I can help you out with all of the above and so much more!

http://www.twistyspreviews.com/wtf.jpg

So the surfers get here after clicking a page that says FREE Trial.

They are getting a free trial (which renews at $39.17) but wait that's not all

they also get a nice pre-checked cross sell for 3 days that costs $1.37 and renews and $34.86
AS WELL as another 3 day free trial that renews at $39.37.

To summarize the surfer who thought they were getting a free trial is really getting access to 3 different sites for $1.37 for 3 days and will be billed $113.40 in 3 days time.

So I guess my question is wtf how are they doing this and staying under 1% chargebacks? The interesting thing is vipweb.com and xxxpass.com look like two bullshit sites run by either them or some other big pps company trying to bang out charges back and forth with WEG.

If you think that’s a scam, check out that “member area”.
Its as old as.

whats that little parrot? Shap is a moron?

this pirate agrees

bashing your competitors in an open forum is real stand up shap
i also dislike your attitude about how rich you think you are

id give an example of you being a total fuckin douchebag towards some people not in the business, but then my cover would be blown

anyway

fuck you are dumb

now i goes back to worksi

Jace 10-04-2007 03:39 PM

while I don't personally agree with prechecked cross sales, they are a part of life in porn AND normal sites

like shaw said, check out ANY godaddy order form or papa johns ordering, just to name a couple, and they are full of prechecked cross sales

everything has them, I would never use them personally, but it is up to the credit card owner to read EVERYTHING before he signs up...if he is too horny and signs up too fast, then that is his fault for being a horny idiot

Actually, pizzahut.com has this thing where if you're going to order breadsticks, it'll already have the little "1" in the larger size.

I'm sure these guys would love to have things pre-checked....or maybe they aren't aware of what it could mean for extra sales...

yup, they sure do

the ONLY difference is that you eventually come to a page that gives you ALL the details of your order so you can review everything in VERY clear terms

so its kinda agreed that adult prechecked sales are often "disgusted" in hopes the surfer doesnt see them correct?

i mean why put * / ** / *** instead of price? pls spare me the bullshit of "its a formality"

They were all prechecked?
I just did too and as far as I saw, none were checked off. I had to check and agree to the terms to process the address form.

While I agree 100% that the consumer has the responsibility of reading things carefully, the industry should also have the responsibility to make things very clear and to not take advantage of those who don't read the terms.

I can't think of one legitimate reason to have sales pre-checked.

Snake Doctor 10-04-2007 04:31 PM

Pornwolf 10-04-2007 05:27 PM

The shadiness of that porn join form ain't got nothin on Godaddy's tricks and other popular mainstream sites.

But, on the other hand, they aren't in a battle against free content so they can push their surfers a but further. Adult webmasters should know that for every surfer we lose because of shady practices there will not necessarily be another to replace him in the market. It's not exactly a zero sum game, but it's damn close now a days.

I made some hateful comments in a previous thread of yours, but this comment's pretty fucking funny.

Makes me wonder if those who post "i have a 3 billion opted email list for sale" threads work for the same companies that post "anyone have pre-checked cross-sells for sale".
