Paysite owners... are you cross selling?

Evil Chris · 10-05-2007, 04:13 PM

Just say yes or no... or wtf is a cross sale.

I'm curious to know.
As for us, yes we are cross selling from our paysites.

A cross sale, is an offer to become a member of another site once they are on the join page. Usually in the same niche, and usually a trial membership.

We are always buying CCBill cross sales. Contact me for more info if you run teen sites.

Buying, not selling.

Platinum Chris · 10-09-2007, 11:35 AM

Buying WTS and 365 Billing only atm.

I'm more of a cross dresser myself....

Cross selling on a join page is called leakage. An affiliate sends traffic and the sponsor potentially steals the surfer for another site, thus not having to pay you.
Not good business, IMHO

I completely disagree. Nobody has ever lost a sale due to a cross sale being in place.

How long have you been at this kind of work?

That is a pretty definitive statement. Are you sure of this? I have been in this business at least as long if not longer than you and I am not quite sure myself. I would say this is a good topic for discussion.

I would say that "completely disagree" would be pretty definitive, yes.

and? Just curious what you base this on. I could, should I be inclined, make a good case against this. Anyone can make a definitive statement but I am not sure what that actually brings to the table in the way of practical advice. It actually is a pretty serious traffic leak.

If I'm paying you per signup, it's not a leak. Also remember, that the person is being sold both sites at once on the same join page, they aren't taken to another join page.

And yes, we are buying cross sales (companies with their own merchants only)

terraangel · 10-12-2007, 02:35 AM

I cross sell my stuff like videos and webcam but not other webapges.
Sc gives members other stites to look at for free.
but I don't advertise that.

PornGuy · 10-12-2007, 04:28 PM

Yes, and looking for some unchecked ones. Anybody?

Cyndalie · 10-15-2007, 11:03 AM

It's only technically a traffic leak if the site being proposed in the cross sale is directly linked on the join page, which I have yet to see on a join form.
