Thanks for your replies guys, I appreciate it a lot.
As for what brean78 wrote - I usually try to make a phone call, but most webmasters don't put their phone numbers on the their sites nor does the whois search shows it, so I settle for an email. But I get your message and totally understand what you mean.
Matted - Do affiliates really want all that information in a first email? would someone read all that? Seems too exhausting... I kinda thought it was better to send a short email letting you know I'm interested in affiliation, and then letting you check us out and deciding whether we have something to talk about. It's like hitting on a girl - I'm not gonna start telling her all the reasons why we need to get married, all the wonderful kids we're gonna have, the house, the money... I'm gonna ask her out on a first date and then she'll decide if she wants to continue... I have found that the shorter the email - the better are the chances of getting replied. Of course, I need to put something in to show that it's not a template... Still, you would know better than me so I hear what you say and take it with me for the future. I guess the approach needs to be revised from time to time and every affiliate has their own agenda.
Thanks guys and good luck to us all.
