I personally know that free will mean that I'll get bombarded with countless emails, I'll be presented with OTO's and so on. Although I do offer 'free' bonuses to get people to opt in, they didn't make much difference to my opt in rate when I put them up. (I started just by pitching the benefits). Still - the freebies are still there, because they're not making my opt in rate worse. (Or at least I don't think so - I should test that!) Thanks, Martin.

Another expression loosing its power is "limited time offer". I think most people are starting to translate free into worthless, or “strings attached” and is going to cost me in the long run.
