Serious Cross Sale thread. In here.
 

I've seen tons of people bitching about Cross Sales.

These are nothing new, and are the only reason sponsors are offering insane PPS. If those whining and moaning about it get them cancelled, guess what? PPS is gonna go way down, and free non-tube sites are gonna go the way of the dodo.

Please cast your vote, you have two options: Shitty PPS, or Cross Sale. I'm curious how many people will be honest in their answers, but I'm going to make this a private poll so nobody has to expose themselves.

faster . . . or did you forget to click the poll option?

I pay $35 per trial and dont have more than 1 xsell which is clearly visible above the join button and all price points clearly displayed....

I'm not done typing, damn it!

Program owners need not apply. This question is directed towards affiliates only. :thumbsup

Yea but I am saying pps wont be going away if those issues ppl are complaning about do.

I vote higher PPS, keep'em checked baby! :thumbsup











But shhhhh don't tell anyone my vote...keep it between us. :Oh crap

$35 PPS is not $100 PPS.

1: they do it on revshare as well
2: Most of those programs pay 35 bucks.

Not sure what youre talking about, neither do you.

$35 a sale isn't a "shitty" pps....If people just stayed at 35-40 things would be different...

So we, the affiliates, are the reason program owners charge 120 dollars so they can pay us 35 bucks.

Great thread dude...got any more?

Not a part of this argument or statement. I don't care about RevShare metrics for this thread, but thanks for shitting on my thread. Go back to the others, fakenick #10,312,032

This has to be the dumbest poll all fucking week.

You know as well as I do that if a program says 'We're gonna give you $100 this weekend', very few are going to be promoting the $35 guys for that period, which feeds back unto itself..

I doubt those programs pay $100 pps everyday and if they do then I'm sure they probably do not convert that well. And $35 per trial is high if the sites actually convert, would not consider that shitty.

Get your ass to Mars.

clicky clicky.

Wow, so now you say its still our fault that those sponsors charge the surfer 120 bucks on a daily basis because they have a promo period twice a year :1orglaugh

when Ron tried to lower payouts so he could keep things honest.. what happened? all the short sighted morons in this industry pulled their traffic and spit on him for it.

everyone in this biz deserves whatever happens... because its a biz full of self destructive, "live for the moment" idiots who are locked in a perpetual and desperate race to the bottom.

If you were more than just a board troll, and an actual affiliate who intentionally promoted someone due to the high PPS, you'd be a willing participant.

Either way, shut the fuck up and get out of my thread.

I only promote Revshare. I'm in this for the money.

cross sales are fine as long as they're WELL DEFINED, not multiple and not hidden/buried and NOT ON REVSHARE.

I don't understand why any webmaster with quality traffic would even consider promoting a website on PPS basis. If you run good and popular sites you will always make much more money with revshare. Now, the shady thing that most programs out there do is to have xsales on revshare as well. That's pretty queationable at least.

You can scam your surfer once for $60 and they never sign up again or
you can have you surfer always come to you to sign up multiple times.

rev-share all the way! :)

Same as Satancash, Keep an Eye out for the PPS to come out of Beta Soon

I vote... I want my high PPS. Cross sales are just a way I get paid.

Because by next year you are retired i hope? If not then youre a stupid idiot.

You're not alone.

So far:

5 said "SHOW ME THA MONEYY!"
8 said "Oh goodness, I would never do that nudge-nudge wink-wink."

So you don't like people popping into your thread insulting you. Interesting ... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

If you have an argument other than "Fuck you, you suck but I don't really get what you're asking anyhow.", I'd love to hear it. If you start posting toilets full of shit, I'll ask you to stop posting in my thread as well.

:1orglaugh

5 people just showed that they are clueless and dont realize theyre fucking things up long term.

As an affiliate....it's none of my business. I send traffic to get joins to the site I promote. Once my surfer enters the paysites join page he is no longer "my surfer" he is THEIR member.

As paysite owner...I'd like to give LOWER PPS & keep x-sells. The cost of running a paysite and the sheer hours I put in working on it...I believe I should be able to make good money. And if I put up a x-sell it's none of your goddamn business.

Xsales are mostly done on the signup page BEFORE a surfer joins a site. Some shady programs hide those pre-checked boxes for up to 3 other sites/programs way down below the signup botton. If you are on revshare with them, they won't give you the percentage of sales as they promise in their affiliate advertising = fraud!

My job was to get a surfer to the tour. Then it's the paysite owners job to have great content and a tour that will work for their particular niche. It's the tour's job to get the surfer to the join page. And once the surfer has made that decision...based on whether or not the tour has done it's job...then they have pretty much decided they are going to try and join that site.

I can't reach my hand out at that point and demand the backend money that the paysite makes. And the paysite can't "share" the costs of DECLINES if the surfers credit card doesn't work for any reason OR the $55 that the bank charges if the surfer pulls a chargeback on the paysite.

Fair is fair. And I feel all this b.s. is mostly coming either from people who have never run a paysite or people who aren't very successful as affiliates. I'm both, and my view of it reflects that.

Bah, Keep your cross sales. I can make $150 per sign up on rev share.

See my thread here. fucking-around-and-business-discussion/849532-pps-pay-maybe.html I've got pages of stats like that.

I prefer cross sales

I started in 2000 with the first Live Cam traffic Networks...
Fuck PPS, fuck cross sales, let the models do the selling :winkwink:
