if the 3rd step is going to be the price alert with the need to answer yes I think we should prepare to a higher percentage of drop

Hey Derek, so what do you think about he open indexes on the net that are just packed full of ringtones that you can find with a google hack “indexof” query?

Hope you’re doing ok these days…

Yes you could say that if you consider them putting in their phone number as an opt-in. I wasn’t really considering that as an opt-in. But either way you look at it, your users will now be faced with a third step.

Derek, you mean triple opt-in? Right now they are already doing double opt-ins ..

Well, from what I’ve been told its really the carriers that are pushing the double opt-in because well lets face it when people get their bill and see it who’s the first ones they call? Their phone company. So, we’ll see for sure within the next couple weeks if it will be all carriers, a select few, and exactly what the 3rd step will be.

I guess the third step is still vague.

But this seems like the vendors are shooting off their own feet. By this, I mean lower conversions to begin with, compounded by lower traffic as affiliates leave in droves.

my $.02 anyways
