[QUOTE="rpghost, post: 1319721, member: 2834"] Actually it's just the opposite that's WAS a problem. Free products are not shown on the lists. So if you make your paid product free, it falls off the list forever. But if on the other hand you make your free product a paid product after getting "bought" a bunch of times, it was putting them right to the top of the list. We did fix this by preventing any product with a current cost of 0 from showing on the list. This is a touchy point. On one hand I could just concentrate on making the most money and pimp all the best sellers and products and leave it all 100% up to my staff to make choices for the front page. But on the other hand we choose to try to level the field a bit to help new publishers get exposure. A Malhavoc release dosn't need our help promoting it. People come to get it as soon as they find out it was released. News sites do that for you. An EN World product doesn't need our help either - they run the largest d20 fan site and soon as they mention something, people go to their product to buy it. I guess my point is that front page exposure for these mega pdf houses isn't nearly as important to them as it is for the other publishers. I'm not against working out deals and special promotions. I do appreciate your business. But you have to ask us if you expect things to happen. James [/QUOTE]
