    So are cross sales now officially dead ??!!!

    I heard whispers through various media that cross sales are now officially dead, that VISA wanted them gone for good... has that become reality or are companies still using them ???

    What will that mean for the big players who earn millions off of them ? So I take it if companies cant load their join pages with cross sales the crazy PPS offerings will also dwindle down ?

          They aren't dead... Visa has always had a policy that you couldn't share credit card numbers with different companies without the peoples consent. All they did was remind us of that and told everyone how to do it correctly.

                  I was told they had now officially banned them ! Apparerlently one or two news sources are running the story... such as xbiz... maybe I should try and find a link

                      wasnt the stipulation that the person signing up would have to fill out a separate form for the xsell? that would still allow xsales across the board but would require a new popup or something in the join process for them to fill out.. who wants to fill out their info twice?! 80% loss in xsale revenue right there. Knock knock knockin on deaths door.

                              No 3rd party x-sales, companies can still x-sale themselves or inside the same IPSP.

                                          Interesing....

                                          I dont get how this hasnt blown up on the board already... but news !

                                          yeah sounds like you can only do internal cross sales... unless you pop a new sign up form up to make it clear it's a different merchant... as someone said ! Here is a quote from what Visa released on tuesday...

                                          Quote "Visa's rules already prohibit merchants from sharing a cardholder's account number and other Visa transaction information with any entity that is not directly involved in completing the transaction, preventing fraud, or as required by law. To address the data pass practice, merchants will now have to prompt consumers to re-enter their card information to accept a subsequent offer from a third-party merchant. This provides a clear signal to cardholders that a second purchase is being initiated and protects them from questionable marketing practices." End Quote

                                                  you can still cross sale to yourself

                                                  if you need a simple solution....setup another site or two you want to cross sale to

                                                  you can use our cms and content feed to populate an entire members area...they will never tire of the content as its updated daily.

                                                  and wollah...you now have a separate members area you can cross sale to..without worry that they will think they are in the same site twice

                                                      3rd party processors can still do normal xsales, as they always could... like epoch, ccbill, etc.. With your own merchant account, you can xsale yourself or give them a warning.

                                                      I expect we will see a new term on join forms that says they're sharing the info with other people and use one form as the method to verify rather than passing it on the hidden side - which is what the new ruling is really about.

                                                          Also...

                                                          It also seems there is some confusing where this ruling applies... if I am readign it right this is VISA Inc... as in the US Area of Visa... not VISA Global... so does this mean if you have VISA outside of North America, and hold your merchant accounts lets say in the EU then to date it doesnt effect you ???

                                                                  we have alot of content...all kinds

                                                                  weird insertion stuff

                                                                  homemade videos...tons of them....and i mean alot...exgf stuff etc etc

                                                                  so...while it is dvd....you dont have to display it that way

                                                                  you can display it like a tube site...with just the scenes..embedded right into your page...and it will just open in the page and play

                                                                  it doesnt have to look like dvd content...display just the scenes...and add a description as well....totally customizable

A big part of the cross selling was the inability to cancel all the different merchants which caused the trials to convert to fulls.

                                                                                                          A program will have hard time explaining why it's so hard to cancel different sites that are all owned by the same company and under the same merchant account.

                                                                                                          But I think Visa was getting heat from the FTC and they made this announcement to appease the FTC, not to protect consumers. I'd assume Visa makes money from this cross selling, if they were losing money, they would just stop it outright.

A big part of the cross selling was the inability to cancel all the different merchants which caused the trials to convert to fulls.

                                                                                                                          A program will have hard time explaining why it's so hard to cancel different sites that are all owned by the same company and under the same merchant account.

                                                                                                                          But I think Visa was getting heat from the FTC and they made this announcement to appease the FTC, not to protect consumers. I'd assume Visa makes money from this cross selling, if they were losing money, they would just stop it outright.
                                                                                                                          To be fair the % of money VISA makes from Porn is negligable to the big picture... I heard they wouldnt really give a shit if they dropped it completly ! But who knows...

Obviously it makes them enough money for it to be worth it.

The same way when you go to buy a car, you never say you love it. You say it's nice, but not really what you are looking for.

                                                                                                                                  If people think that what businesses say and what businesses really think are the same thing, they need more experience dealing with real business.

                                                                                                                                          I think Visa says that as a negotiating tactic. The same way when you go to buy a car, you never say you love it. You say it's nice, but not really what you are looking for.

                                                                                                                                          If people think that what businesses say and what businesses really think are the same thing, they need more experience dealing with real business.

                                                                                                                                                  In 2009, the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation investigated the issue and merchants who use this practice.

                                                                                                                                                  "I applaud Visa's decision to prohibit merchants from using 'data pass' marketing on its network," said Senator John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV, Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. "The Senate Commerce Committee's investigation showed that this aggressive marketing practice enabled unscrupulous e-commerce companies to scam millions of American consumers out of more than a billion dollars. Our Committee's investigation revealed how appalling this practice is and makes clear it should not be allowed - I'm glad to see Visa has reached the same conclusion."

Obviously it makes them enough money for it to be worth it.

                                                                                                                                                                      I think Visa says that as a negotiating tactic. The same way when you go to buy a car, you never say you love it. You say it's nice, but not really what you are looking for.

                                                                                                                                                                      If people think that what businesses say and what businesses really think are the same thing, they need more experience dealing with real business.

As a percentage Adult may be tiny but I don't think so - I think Adult actually accounts for a lot of Visa's business. Anyone have exact numbers ('exact' being relative) on what Visa processes vis a vis Adult?

As a percentage Adult may be tiny but I don't think so - I think Adult actually accounts for a lot of Visa's business. Anyone have exact numbers ('exact' being relative) on what Visa processes vis a vis Adult?

                                                                                                                                                                          (Heh - 'vis a vis' - Visa.)

I remember some one posting it before and Adult accounted for about 2% of VISA's transactions... imagine everything else that VISA is used for the millions of daily transactions across the world... if anything PORN as become more of a luxury purchase... where as every one from filling their car up, buying groceries, clothes, travel, ect ect... seriously it isnt a big %...

                                                                                                                                                                          Why Visa stay in who knows... maybe money is money, the argument if they were that worried about their brand they would dump us makes sense... who knows...

Now they lost their golden egg, sure that will have a knock on effect !

Anyone had any problems so far... seem's the good old "We Got Problems With Our Bank" seems to be going around a lot, coincidence ?

It's not really programs that do business together through cross sales that nobody has a clue about.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Here's a moment of contriversy for you all... in the real world surely the relationship between affiliate and site owner is symbionic ? both rely on the other... yet I guess due to all the crazy PPS schemes the affiliates seem to feel like it should be edged towards them !

                                                                                                                                                                                          Without the paysite to promote how would they make money, sure they would say well plenty of other sites to promote... maybe the power is with them lol... but if a paysite cant make money then they would exist... well not the genuine ones anyways !
