I see that about 10% of our affiliate emails go bad within the first 90 days after signup. Seems that some people either don't last long in the biz or maybe don't really care about getting mailings. Around 20% will go bad after a year. Usually those are never the top producers. Funny how that works.

Hi Simon, and thanks for replying (good looking program and great looking site BTW). Yeah I am not too concerned about the newsletters. Although I think they are important for getting our freshest galleries out there to be used and we do put news in them. I am more concerned about when I am actually sending an individual e mail to webmasters that have signed up you know? Those e mails are important to me and I'd like to think that they are at least being seen.
I think part of the problem may be past abuse of webmaster lists by other programs in the past. Now affiliates might just auto delete something because it smells like spam, when it might have some useful info. I wish there was a way to seperate that kind of thing, the wheat from the chaff, but i dont think there is
