It's all about the thread title. Next time, you can try a few of these tried and true GFY marketing tactics:

1) The Bait and Switch: create a controversial or shocking thread title to grab their attention (and clicks), and then present something wholly unrelated in the thread. For example, have Sly start a thread entitled "(DRAMA) Hey Kristin, You're Kidding Me, Right?", and then continue in the thread with, "...are we really giving our affiliates 100% revshare with no X-sales??? That's insane!" Readers may feel let down by the tactic, but once they recognize the great deal you're offering, they'll get over it.

2) The "Hey Look, I'm A Woman!": create a thread title where you vaguely refer to yourself as a woman. It's a well-established fact that adult webmasters are, more often than not, middle-aged virgins that respond to even the slightest sexual cues. Start a thread title that goes something like "This Morning While I Was Washing My Soapy Body in the Shower..." and then start your announcement with "I couldn't help but think about the insane 100% revshare no X-sale offers we've giving all of our affiliates!" This is a relatively under-used, but powerful GFY marketing tactic.

3) The "Wait, What?": create a thread that summarizes your announcement and an irrelevant, but intriguing accompanying statement. For example, title your thread "TopBucks Announcement: We Do Not Support X-sales or Racism". This marketing tactic is quite effective as it appeals to just about everyone who reads it for a multitude of reasons. They may think you're comparing x-sales and racism, or they may think there are rumors that you support racism, or they're just generally confused as to why you'd announce your stance on racism at all.
