Well Henry, you stepped in it!
You thought you were dealing with a non producing affiliate and treated him like s#!t. We don’t like it when ANY affiliate is treated like that.
Then you made a big mistake. You should have noted that Fred has been around for a long time. He answered your mails, he offered to give you a spot. If he wasn’t producing he wouldn’t be around this long and responding to you! DUH!
And you don’t tell affiliates what to do. We don’t like that. If you want exposure you ask for it. Nicely. Friendly like. You know, with a little courtesy and respect.
On my site you now have basic, plain text link listings. Go look at my stats. Then go cry because you can see what you would be getting if I did give you even one good spot.
Which isn’t going to happen. I should be treating managers who treat everyone well a lot better. I think I’ll go and give a nice spot to Roo.
