Ask anyone what sites they surf and they will mention a big TGP or torrent now and days. which i never understood why free porn cant be censored and make people pay for it

I'd like to take this opportunity to say that I'm buying Xsells from anyone with their own merchant account.
As someone who understands risk management, I found some posts in this thread humorous but at the end of the day, we all can't know what some of us know.

I'm paying top dollar for Xsells. find me, I'll make you rich.

I know I'm being simplistic here, but there are 2 distinct models that MOST business owners in this industry follow.

Those that care about the surfer first and foremost are in the "paysite business".

Those that do not care about the surfer first and foremost are in the "credit card processing and risk management business".

Both are sound and profitable business models. Where one might say some practices are questionable or unethical another might say it's legal ... and ethics and morals are a matter of opinion.

I remember reading a quote somewhere that said,

"The corporation cannot be ethical, its only responsibility is to make a profit."

Also,

"When morality comes up against profit, it is seldom that profit loses."

People make business and personal decisions based on their on comfort level and risk tolerance. It's not all black and white ... there's lots of Grey in between.

Personally, I see the positives in both business models. One is not necessarily better or worse.

Hedge your bets kids.
The "12 Clicks" program" is savage. I'm not only an affiliate I'm also a board whore.

i havent used paycom or ccbill in years, but when i used them they had no problems with dual prechecked free trials.

are you new to this business?

I think this is the first time WEG has ever been called a scam.

Thats a damn shame, WEG has done great business for years, and have been very generous during them. There services and quality of service to members is solid as well.

Its the ultimate insult.

Seriously shame on you Shap...

wow.. i made it to page 3 and found out paycom doesnt allow it anymore.. i doubt it's for moral reasons.

if i spent half as much time playing internet police as some people do, i'd be broke.

If pre checked cross sales don't decieve anyone then there would be no need to have them pre checked.

Here is something else with XXXpass.

This came up as I was checking out a sponsors CCBill join page. (I had to make the popup smaller so you could see what it popped over.)
The trigger was "bill.ccbill.com"
Hotbar == Zango


The prechecked cross sale on that page doesn't even get a 'fine print' star, or even addressed.

umm...lets see here....maybe that's because 90% of the paysite members sections suck big fat cocks?? Most members sections are laughable at best.

This is why...it's because free porn works. And it works especially well for sites that actually have "something of value" to offer...it's a winning combination. There's tons of money in free porn, but it's got to be matched up with the right product.

Free porn + the value of sites/programs suchs as Brazzers, Twistys, Movieroom, NScash, FTV, Karups, Braincash, Bangbros = BIG TIME recurring $$$$$$$$.

Probably the best post in this thread. Both have advantages and disadvantages. My only problem is when people act like it's a kosher way of getting signups. We all know it's preying on surfers who don't read carefully. Still, if it's legal, then it's legal.

It's called a precheck cross sale; it's not a scam, as it is in the terms and conditions.

People are allowed to opt out of them at the point of signing up, and can cancel during the trial; they will receive this information in the email which they receive after the signup.

Quickbuck is buying zango traffic on ccbill keywords? Or just one of their affiliates? It seems to be going straight to the biller page instead of the nats join page though...

I actually made a thread about this in 2006

Weg was already doing this on a smaller scale.

Is someone popping up the signup page to their site over someone else's using Zango? If so, that isn't some shady marketing, that's straight up fraud.

To me in plain terms and since most agreements are biased to the consumer when it comes to interpretation. A buyer should be credited $34.86 per month for remaining a member of that one pre checked cross sell. None of the others have a negative sign in front of them after all.

Well the dollar sign does make it a bit obvious that it is US currency, though I will stand behind my earlier comment.

I hope they are crediting people that money, otherwise it could be a funny ass class action suit in my opinion.

So I'd like to know where you got the notion
Said I'd like to know where you got the notion

To rock the boat
Don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat
Don't tip the boat over
Rock the boat
Don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat.

Ever since our voyage of life began
Your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind
And your arms have held me safe from the rolling sea
There's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me
Our love is like a ship on the ocean
We've been sailing with a cargo full of, love and devotion

So I'd like to know where you got the notion
Said I'd like to know where you got the notion

To rock the boat
Don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat
Don't tip the boat over
Rock the boat
Don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat.

Up to know we've sailed through ev'ry room
And I've always had your tender lips to keep me warm
Oh, I need to have the strength that flows from you
Don't let me drift away, my dear
When love can see me through
Our love is like a ship on the ocean
We've been sailing with a cargo full of, love and devotion

So I'd like to know where you got the notion
Said I'd like to know where you got the notion

To rock the boat
Don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat
Don't tip the boat over

It actually isn't too far from phishing scams you see online if you think about it. But I'm not an expert on it, so I'll ask and see what they think.

In a study being reported today in Science, researchers had 11 chimpanzees at the Wolfgang Köhler Primate Research Center in Germany play this “ultimatum” game. One chimp, the “proposer,” sat beside the “responder.” The proposer pulled out a tray as far as he could. The tray held two dishes with raisins, separated by a see-through divider: one for the proposer and the other for the responder. The proposers first chose which tray to pull out; if the responder liked what he saw—and he could see how many raisins he and the proposer would each get, by seeing how many raisins were on each side of the divider—he accepted the offer by pulling the tray the rest of the way out. Both chimps would then chow down. If the responder did not like the offer, he refused to pull the tray the rest of the way out, and neither chimp got a snack.

If the dishes held the same number of raisins, the responder chimp almost always accepted a 50-50 offer and rejected a 100-0 offer. Unlike people, though, they rarely rejected 80-20 offers—only 5 to 14 percent of the time. And unlike people, who fume when confronted with unfair offers, the chimps almost never took umbrage, throwing a tantrum at an unfair offer a mere 2 percent of the time.

Since I like Shap a lot, it makes it hard for me to comment in this thread...However, Canadians living in Bermuda really gave up their rights to complain to the FTC a long time ago. So please shut the fuck up with that FTC shit.

The rest of the trolls up in arms over other companies billing models need to realize that WEG has made more people more money in this industry than you will ever be able to imagine. RichC said it best.

This friendly, magical 'industry' that a lot of you think exists, doesn't. Nobody likes you, go home to not making any money on your 50/50 revshare split.

Would be surprised to see you have another stance on this...

The prechecked cross sale on that page doesn't even get a 'fine print' star, or even addressed.

I have posted about someone using an illegal portal to XXXPass before, they have a bunch of portals all with illegal content. They take an url and use the .org or the like and use stolen content which links to the XXXPass signup form. From a previous post before, sorry for the semi thread hijack:

If you know who is running the site above, or any of the sites below, that information would be great:

http://www.arikaames.org

http://www.almondtease.org

http://www.carolcox.org

http://www.celestefox.org

http://www.brittanylove.org

And there are a ton more. Except for Arika, I know for certainty that the sites listed above are not authorized to be using this content. I could list many more with the exact format, but I am sure everyone gets the idea. The sites are quite similar, quite a coincidence. If you know who runs these site and could help stop some of this theft I am sure it would be appreciated.

Both are sound and profitable business models. Where one might say some practices are questionable or unethical another might say it's legal ... and ethics and morals are a matter of opinion.

People make business and personal decisions based on their on comfort level and risk tolerance. It's not all black and white ... there's lots of Grey in between.

Personally, I see the positives in both business models. One is not necessarily better or worse.

J$tyle$ posted a good and experienced comment here.

I agree, there are 2 types of paysite business models (with some grey area). The first type of business model uses crappy cookie cutter sites with dime a dozen content. The main objective of this business model is to over charge the surfer as much as possible after 1 to 3 days (usually $39.99 + xsells) and hope the surfer doesn't charge back and simply forgets about their membership so it will rebill every month.

The second type of business model uses websites with good exclusive content and regular updates. Xsells and upsells are not emphasized, if used at all. The surfer is charged a reasonable subscription fee (usually somewhere around $24.95 per month). The main objective of this business model is to get the surfer to rebill willingly every month, based on the idea that the surfer enjoys the site and feels it provides value.

Both business models work and are profitable, because in the first business model, the company makes $100 all in 1 pop by over charging the surfer (trial to monthly and xsells). The surfer usually then cancels immediately and is unhappy with the service. In the second business model, the company makes $100 also, but it is through 4 - 5 months of rebills.

Can you make more money doing this type of cross selling? Sure, of course. Does it take advantage of the surfer and bend him over? Yes of course. Anyone who denies this just isn't credible.

The same arguments I am hearing from those who think this is ok, are the same arguments that we heard about mailers and selling and buying membership databases. I am sure that even the hardcore crooks like the Babenet crew or Crescent who flat out ran bogus billings against credit card databases could also rationalize about how it makes alot of money or how others have done it for years.

The real truth that these people don't want to face up to is that its totally possible to make great money being upfront and ethical with your customer base. Your just being greedy and contributing to the adult industry being viewed as a bunch of scumbags.

my point is, the FTC is a US agency

guys outside the US like to make it clear that US laws don't apply to them. wasn't really going after shap there, more pocketkangaroo's stupid idea of reporting a company that falls in line with all cc regs to a US agency because he thinks what they're doing isn't perfectly legal.

I believe the FTC comment came because Quickbuck is popping their join pages over CCbill join pages using Zango. You think that is ok?

With Quickbuck's history, I think you are right.
