This is all without popups, cross sales, emailing members, and other shady stuff. This is all about customer satisfaction and return customers.

so you are saying popups are "shady" ?
I see nothing wrong with 1 popup. I have made over 100K in the last 3 years off of 1 popup page that is displayed on about 35% of my traffic. I definetly don't see anything wrong with it in my position as an affiliate, i don't own a "website" that I am worried about people coming back to. I advertise ads and i get 1 shot at them, so i make it count.
Even if i owned a membership site (and i have owned several in the past) I would still have 1 pop up on exit. I guarantee that I will gain more in income from sales from my popup page then i will lose from returning customers who wont come back to my site because they got a pop up on their way out. Think about it. These people are leaving your site, pop up or no pop up there is a very good chance you are not going to make a sale from them. Even with a pop up you are not rulling it out either, how many people actually get pissed from 1 pop up. I bet anything the sales you would lose would be nothing compared to what you make from the pop up. I know years back when I started using popups on my membership sites, i would give them a second chance (discounted rate for my site and i had some other affiliates listed there) on my pop up page. Not only did my membership sales go up but i started making affiliate money. So I couldn't have made them too mad if they were signing up to my site off of the popup page.
I am all in favor of not screwing the customer. But I am also here to make money, not be self rightious. I am happy being more ethical then the industry norm, and i am not talking about porn either, the whole online industry, mainstream included. All the shit these people pull, 1 pop up is nothing in comparison, neither is a checked cross sale IMO.
I don't know how any of you can go on and on about trying to not upset the customer if you have rebilling memberships.
lets call a spade a spade. rebilling memberships is 100% worse for the customer then a popup.
