Cross-sales: Twisty's blinks
Either they are smarter than the others, or couldn't afford to lose any traffic:

Baby steps. That's what any real change in the world is about. Can't throw them under the bus for moving in the right direction.

I don't use them, but it's a small step in the right direction...hopefully more will follow, and take a much bigger step.

Re: Cross-sales: Twisty's blinks
Interestingly too, the drop off between "with cross sales" and "without" appears to be about $5 per signup. That isn't huge money to the affiliates for a potential $80 or so extra sale. Either the surfers were getting rid of those checkmarks, or the program owners are making out like bandits.
I don't picture the surfers doing it.

Re: Cross-sales: Twisty's blinks
$5 per affiliate sale may be about right for those programs with a single pre-check and cancel/rebill terms above the submit button.
That figure would be significantly higher for programs with multiple pre-checks below the submit. Somewhere in between would be those with the pre-checks above, but the cancel/rebill terms tucked away at the bottom of the page. I don't forsee programs currently using the more deceptive pre-checks making any changes until forced to do so by their processors. The ones most likely to change things at this point are others like Twistys, that weren't heavily dependent on that cross-sale income to begin with.

Re: Cross-sales: Twisty's blinks
I think it's funny how much talk is going on about cross sells in the adult industry when mainstream beats us all to hell with cross sells. Ever register a domain on GoDaddy? Been to any music download sites? Buy anything from Amazon.com? In many cases you'll not only be inundated with page after page of cross sell offers but many that are prechecked. This is not exclusive to adult.

Re: Cross-sales: Twisty's blinks
I just bought some domains from Dotster and it was preset to two years, you had to actually delete some features, just a pain in the ass.
I hate it and would charge it back if I got snared. Still snake oil. |

Re: Cross-sales: Twisty's blinks
yeah, but it might keep on unchecking the "I am 18" box too.

Re: Cross-sales: Twisty's blinks
Yep, and GoDaddy does the same thing with 2 years preset but even trickier, they also have the default set to auto renew and you have to physically click a link, not an obvious box, to change it to manual renewal.

It is really annoying. There was a cable company in toronto that did something like that once on a cheap join. They called it negative billing. There was a consumer revolt and they came close to losing their license. |
