Default Re: Prechecked Cross Sales: Getting out of hand

I have none, but I did try to add one for a week just to do some testing, for me it did not work for the simple fact that the cross sale was not related to my site, or my content. I actually think I would do better with links from inside my members area to other sites offering similar content, or friends sites that have worked with me in shoots in the past. I guess though, I'm kind of an odd fish there. I have never been someone who liked playing tricks on my members. I've never used popups or pop unders or any of the other crappy tricks that have annoyed me when going to others sites. The last thing I would want to do is piss off my members and leave them feeling like I didn't give them their moneys worth. Good members are hard to come by, and should be treated well. They didn't have to come to my site and join, and they should expect to get what I say they will get upfront and not screwed over in anyway. Could be why my members rebill for so long. Course on the other side of this coin, I'm not throwing huge parties at the shows, living in fancy houses or driving 150k cars... so I must be doing something wrong eh?
It was funny Alex and I were talking about that last night. We both agreed thats like an upsel in your members area... I dont see a problem with it but you will have those that whine they dont get a piece of that as well.
