Over the past few months, I've tried contacting a number of people who have mentioned that things aren't working out that well for them. I didn't contact any annoying trolls, sig whores, or smart-asses, and I kept it to folks who have sites in niches I actively promote.

Out of 26 emails sent (Since Jan 1, 2009):

18 didn't even reply. And yes, I sent a follow-up email. Or two.

4 webmasters sent me links to their trade scripts.

2 webmasters informed me that my Page Rank was too low. The first time I read this response I actually spit beer onto my monitor. I didn't think shit like that really happened. Spit-takes, I mean.

2 webmasters told me to straight up fuck off. The most recent one today. Hence this post...

I don't know what to say. Times aren't that bad and sales aren't down that much.

I doubt many of you will read this. If you DID happen to receive a proposition from me recently and chose to reply in an inappropriate manner: Consider that email to be your "Window of Opportunity". Consider this post the sound of that window slamming shut.

And I fucking love this job.
