[QUOTE="rpghost, post: 1318692, member: 2834"] Morrus, don't get me wrong. I love what your doing and the benifits to RPGNow are great... the issue is with people who do not like to see their products fall of these lists just so that all of your products can be at the top. I've basically told those people that no one solution will satisfy everyone. I do something one way then the others are pissed. So in the end I just have to decide what's best in the customers interest. What's best to the customer isn't who came up with the slickest marketing plan or the newest way to "use" the rpgnow promotional services. What's best in the eyes of the customer is us getting them to hear about and see the best products. That can sometimes be a factor of cost, but is usually more a factor of content. Your massive sale, while a great thing for you and I and your actual customers, it's not nesseraly the best thing for the TOP lists or the new customers who come to our site and see only your products on the top of the list. In short, the agruement is that best does not nessarly equal quantity sold. But of course you could argee this both ways (or three ways)... I'm only looking for some suggestions to address this. Maybe we do random top lists in the cateogry where it chooses to display best ranked based on comments one time, best based on units sold another time, best based on total $ volume another time. That way people can see a few different items on the lists. With this sale you've basically locked your products to the top of those lists for the next year or so... is that good or bad for the customer? James [/QUOTE]
