Ok.. fair enough.
You want my traffic.. I'm like most Webmasters. I have my bulk traffic source that does crap across 40 sponsors. And then I have my two sponsors that I actually make money with, that I put some focus into.
So you... Post on GFY and forums, your cool, nice.. I'm sure the newbies eat it up. And maybe I think you 'could' make me some money... But, why would I move?
I have Sponsor A: They saw me post a domain, they contacted me, dev'ed the domain for me, I paid for nothing - they even bought a link for it. Sponsor B: Hits ME up, I tell them "I want you to build these 3 domains for me"... When they are done, I'm pushing them - my job is to promote it - not build it. Sponsor C: Sends me a gift, a free dell mini - and I haven't sent them a sale.
It has nothing to do with what they are doing for me, it could be anything. It's the fact that they are working for me, I'm not working for them...
You want Webmasters to hit YOU up... you have it backwards.
I guess the idea that you have 30k posts vs. my 6k posts - is my point. How could you have time to post 30k times and work one-on-one with the every possible Webmaster you can?

Oh, I totally get what you are saying and I (and the rest of the company) spend a lot of time going to webmasters ourselves..both existing and potential. However, there are going to be a lot that you can't reach without making them know you are there first.
There are more than a few people on this board - and in this thread actually - that know that I spend a lot of time working one on one with affiliates and getting them what they need and being proactive with their needs too. Actually, that is part of what I enjoy the most of the job. Max Cash loves to work one on one with affiliates and we are very happy to do things like custom landing pages and the like because we know that is what is often needed by affiliates. I simply say that a lot of people might be intimidated and not know they can ask for that sort of thing.
As far as my post numbers go..it is over many years and my posting has slowed down a lot but I just talk a lot..or did.
For the record..I have always enjoyed your posts
