I never said any of that. What I said was that I'm ranked 14th & I've done 2 sales in this pay period (2 weeks). So obviously, 1 thru 13 have 2 or more sales in the last 2 weeks. My comments was that based off your numbers of contacting 400 webmasters by ICQ instead of sending out a newsletter is this: I don't think you have more than 400 webmasters & that a newsletter would have been just fine. I think your little ICQ fest was a way to make all of your affiliates feel special & warm & cozy because you're letting them in on a "secret" I was also attempting to make a jab that if I'm 14th with 2 sales this pay period, then I....well, I'll let others draw their own conclusions

I don't care if you only have 1 site, I start off with everybody giving them galleries to see where they direct me since MOST webmasters own more than 1 site - you're the ONLY person to turn it into such a big issue...

If you assume that every webmaster has a TGP, then you are a complete ass & you have no business as a marketing rep. You should have done some homework.

Then why even have the program? Close it down if affiliates don't mean that much to you.

So because you've been treated with disrespect in the past, you advise your people to treat affiliates with disrespect as well?

So why not start out by saying that instead of assuming that everyone needs galleries?

Obviously there is a drop, but I doubt it comes right at 10.

Now you know how I felt as soon as CaptainObvious asked me if I wanted some galleries for my script.
