It's pretty clear that paysite owners don't like the fact that review sites are pointing out the HONEST ways they make money from the surfer.

Emailing members cancel offers, is not a scam and telling the surfer about it, is bullshit.

Then lets assume you did start getting spam, one of it's linked to one software backend or processor, now you just excluded all those paysites from getting sales and you just uncovered the REAL largest concern of surfers, privacy of information given to paysites - and told them about it - really f'in smart.

The Review site is injecting OPINION'S that they think the surfer doesn't like to be up-sold, even though they clearly take them and when you're doing it honestly, the buyers do not complain - they ACTUALLY THANK YOU!

Anyway, actual market research shows people LIKE to be up-sold and get other related products recommend to them.


This isn't to say I don't think the idea is good.... but pointing out some of the stuff they're is not what actually concerns the surfer but it does effect our sales.
My guess is if you spam the hell out of them and do pre checked cross sales you're gonna get called out on it in your review. and rightfully so IMO.

Upells in the members area are not a issue IMO.
