Who are these fuckwits? (example of a "first class" affiliate operation)

[gruffy]

1. Harvest Gamelink affiliates email addresses.
2. Spam from a yahoo mail account.
3. Tell you to take a %10 cut instead of %20-30
4. Tell you its good that they charge LESS for products you are collecting commission on.
5. Offer bullshit webmaster referral (%2?)

Hello, I hope this email finds you well. I just came across your website, **BLEEP**, while looking for websites that might possibly be interested in signing up for our affiliate program. While browsing your website, I noticed that you currently use GameLink.com as your affiliate partner for adult DVD's. How are your sales doing? How many sales are you missing out on? I know that you are probably very busy, so I'll skip most of the marketing pitch. Here is what the DVD Advantage Affiliate Program has to offer:

http://www.dvdadvantage.com/basket2/...asp?action=new

We pay out 10% on all sales generated from your website. I know this is low compared to some of our competitors, but we offer the lowest prices on the Internet. Our prices are up to 50% less than all other stores, making our videos the most attractive to buyers. Face it, someone will choose a $23.95 video over the same title sold at an inflated price of $34.95. At DVDAdvantage.com we keep our prices low and STILL maintain an excellent affiliate ratio. We don't hold your payouts hostage. We pay out monthly no matter how much you have earned and we always pay on time. We also offer a second tier program by which you earn a 2% commission on sales by webmasters that were referred to us by you. Please click on the following link to get the rest of the details and sign up.

Sorry that I had to use my Yahoo account to send this email, but I was having a problem sending you this from my email server. If you have any questions and/or comments, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you in advance for your consideration, and I hope to hear back from you soon.

If this message has reached you in error, please forward it on to the appropriate personnel.

Heh I'm sticking with Gamelink at %30. Their tracking is a lot better and their High Quality broadband VOD/Full length DivX downlods convert like crazy.

Hmm.. free DVDs from Mallcom? did you have to ask or is it an incentive thing?
