Exit Pop-Ups - They are getting ridiculous!

Makes no sense Alexa.

It's far better to bank something , than nothing , especially if something has the potential for backend sales on top.

You may not be aware but actually "serious" affiliates and I mean super affiliates often won't touch products without an on exit stratagy. It's quite often the on exits, rebills, and trials that turn a ROI on PPC in the competitive niches.

The on-exit reduced price gives them a chance to get a customer on the list as opposed to letting them dissapear back into the wilderness of choice where they go elsewhere for their solution.

I don't agree with the pricing mechanism, I've made this clear but there are reasons behind it.

For the record, there are vendors doing huge volume using this technique.They don't have anything coming apart from huge commisions.

It's not a fallacy Alexa, it's situational on occasion but far from a fallacy.

Sorry have to strongly disagree and it's based on huge and I do mean huge experience.

"most of them buy at a later visit" ?

What data are you pulling to come to that conclusion Alexa?

Serious affiliates, laughing at on exit offers?

Serious affiliates for numerous products at one point wouldn't consider my products over a competitors because we didn't run some kind of on exit offer, fact. Most large scale PPC (super affiliates want every opportunity to reap some ROI, even if it's less than the initial offer.

The chances of somebody randomly coming back to purchase after leaving a random site are slim at best, this is exactly the reason these are put in place in almost every major CB product.

Where do you get the fact/impression that "most people come back and buy later" from ?

What's the supporting data for this statement Alexa , because I would say in my experience it is utterly the reverse.

You either get em then and then, or your chances of a sale dwindle dramaticallly.

There are occasions where it's a site that has return visitor value, but it's very rare.

If they didn't have the interest when they visited it initally, there is ZERO reason for them to come back.

This is the entire point of on exit. You captilising on the fact they were going to leave anyway. That's why it became so popular.

Marketers finally found a way to maximise visitor value rather than hoping the customer might come back at some point. Not to put to fine a point on this but there are guys in the fitness niche selling over 1200 units a day on Clickbank

They , did check their logs to determine uniques/returns and the conversions.

It's not some pie in the sky random idea, at the top level the ROI is tested to death and back, it's implemented because in reality most people do NOT come back to sites they left already without being interested enough to buy from.

Sure there's a % of people who may, days down the line suddenly think they might like to go back and take a look but it is the exception .

Think of the average consumer, they end up on some long copy site for a fat loss product for example.

They spend their 0.31 seconds it before deciding they are not interested at that price.

They decide to leave.

They get a popup offering it for less than half.

They figure ok at that price might as well.

But there's no intention prior to that popup to come back at a later date to buy it.

Hell you're lucky if people even remember a domain name a week later or how they ended up surfing to it.

I don't know what niche you're in or what customers base you have where "most" of them come back to a random site at some point and purchase something they didn't do intially but it's not representative of the top players in the CB market.

I can't think for love nor money when I've gone back to a site to purchase an e-book that I wasn't interested enough to purchase the first time I got there.

Sorry, couldn't disagree more but if you have actual data to support this, I would be interested in seeing it for sure.

Bottom line sales increase with on exits including ones offering cheaper pricing.

Take them off and your monthly turnover decreases.

If it were true that "most people " come back and buy later, your monthly turnover would not decrease.
