Imma let you finish, but the Most Aggressive Upsell Prize still goes to GoDaddy. :)

Anyway it's really interesting FB uses the number of likes as a score in a game. From this point of view the whole Facebook is a game about likes and you can pay for an ad(vantage).

I think Ryanair takes that particular prize - they do great flight deals and the actual airline is, at least in my experience, perfectly OK but their website has been designed to be a nightmare and to make it extremely difficult not to by extra stuff that you don't really need.

For example, the option to not buy travel insurance is half way down a list of countries!

true, Ryanair are extremely aggressive, but I'll go with godaddy also :)

VistaPrint have to be a contender in this one [most aggressive upseller] too I think.

I feel like all airlines do a ton of upselling these days. I think that is the only way they stay in business.

haha you are correct. GoDaddy is an upselling machine. The problem is on GoDaddy you constantly think you are being upsold. With Facebook you don't feel like that.
