One time offers.. Twice?

Have you noticed the one time offers on just about every exchange. It’s the hottest thing to do right now. I’ve even bought some.

But has anyone else noticed some sites have these offers coming up..  Twice? Sometimes even more? One site I visited said that the offer would only show once, that it was secured by some script and wouldn’t come up ever again. Oh and then the next time I logged in it was there.

I’m not sure how the programmers are programming them..  Maybe cookies? I don’t know. There’s got to be a better way to know if the user saw the page or not. I mean I’ve even seen one that said it was a one time offer, but the payment button wasn’t there because I already tried the offer. I would think at least that page shouldn’t have shown because it confirmed that I saw it, and confirmed that I bought it..

    You’re absolutely right about those oto pages appearing multiple times. This week I had a chance to check out Soaring4Traffic, which is a brand new traffic exchange and I was surprise that there were two one time offers. I didn’t take it.

    Then I bought the Beginners List Formula and the oto page there were way too high. Just don’t know how you can justify that price for what you get.

    Sooner and later, people will get sick and tired looking at them.

    Well, here is my slnat on any ONE TIME OFFER…
    Special TODAY ONLY…
    etc. etc.

    I also offer Horse barns to those in the Market on the West Coast…
    Have competion.

    If I offer “specials” “show Time Only” in a way
    I am saying I’m not priced right.

    How can “give ” profit today and not yesterday…
    These are custom built products.

    Also what about the customer who bought last , comes to the Show and sees the same
    product for Thousands less……

    If you have something to OFFER of substantive Value……
    allow me to buy it when I am ready…I probably will
    If it is Quality.

    Some days the Advertisemnet or the Education Cookie Jar may be Low..
    And I will not use the Food Budget for…….

    Just a gray hair’s thoughts on the matter.

    Indeed, isn’t that just lame?

    i have an oto on my exchange that appears immediately after a new member signs ups
    offering 5000 credits for $17, but if you refresh that page or sign up again it won’t show a second time.

    my script records your i.p. address, so unless you use another pc, you won’t see it again.

    you can use i.p. addresses, cookies, or even block it by the username, but each has a way to get around it.
