Am hopeful the promotion will aid your enterprises> I have included the required attachments. <Will add today> I have also included the overflow article update and bio, they were sent a few weeks ago, so I am assuming you did not get them. <I did not. Thank you for the follow-up. Did you want to sell the article into the pulp-print market/s first? If so, make this known and I will begin forwarding (Cc'ing you) the work to probable editors> My email client likely struck again! I have been struggling, learning more about computers since setting up our site and getting involved with WWM. Again, thank you, it has been a privilege and a pleasure to help out when and where I can, Scott V. <Ahhhh! Thank you my friend. BobF> Re: An offer to help promote your business 1/28/08 The ad looks great!! Thank you again. <Very glad to abet your efforts Scott. Saw your site is larger, much improved> I will keep you posted on the traffic/sales that come through WWM if you like. <Ah, appreciated> I am all for printing the article if you think there may possibly be a market for it. <Will send out today then, and cc you re> Ultimately I hope it could be posted on a particular website I am fond of, you know the one, I am sure! Talk soon, Scott V. <We will buy and post it after it runs in the pulp press. Cheers, BobF> WWM, sponsorship/advertising input 12/6/07 Good Morning Bob, I am considering what you have pointed out about product sales. It is hard for me to think that way because I am such a fan of you site. I started out amazed at the info available then I started admiring the business you built. <Thank you Steve... but... WWM is not really commercial, a business. Is definitely NOT leaning in this way. IS intended to inform and inspire folks interested in ornamental aquatics primarily. The issue of return on investment in your promotion dollar is VERY important to me... Am willing to encourage your advertising with us ONLY if it makes you money> I do not know if you remember me but I used to email you and suggest if you started using PayPal people can donate, sign up for membership and pay to advertize easily. <Mmm, vaguely... yes. And likely due to your prompting, we and I do have PayPal acct.s now, and do accept payment for ads thus.> Not that I know better than you but I figured you must be working 16 hour days to cover all your bases as it was. <Happily I am 'retired' (i.e. don't have a day job)... my bills are paid for by investments made over decades time> I am sorry but I am not sure what you mean Am still a giant fan of the idea of urging you to write up something for us to buy, post with credit, links to you, your business... Maybe your instruction set? BobF Can you break that down to layman's terms for me? <Oh yes. Sorry for the confusion. My thinking is that instead or in addition to a purposeful ad, that your business would greatly benefit from your having an article or three on what these tools are, their application... Along with pix, your contact info.... And that this information be linked to articles on WWM on Plumbing, Through-Puts, Overflows... maybe you already have this done... largely as your 'instruction' set that you send out with the bits> Also I have a ad for you to consider Thank you again Bob, Steve <Will have a look see... about how this might fit. Thank you. BobF> I'm back! 4/5/07 Hey Bob... <Brian> If you don't remember I was the owner of Reefers (www.acropora.com) that went belly-up a few years ago. Well I'm back in the industry working for ZeroEdge Aquariums. I've been out of this industry for about 6 years, but I liked this tank so much, I decided to become active again. Just wanted to send you a note to say Hi.. as I'm sure we'll be running into each other in the near future at one or most of the upcoming shows. I would like to get your input on this tank anyway, so be prepared to be wrangled to the booth. Take care! Brian Griffin ZeroEdge Aquarium http://www.zeroedgeaquarium.com <Welcome back Bri!

as well> Thank you for your inquiry about advertising in
Conscientious Aquarist! We are always interested in quality advertisers
for our online publication. What is the nature of the product/service
that you will be advertising? I am cc'ing Robert Fenner, the owner

regarding advertising in Conscientious Aquarist/WetWebMedia. <Ah,

Wed, 4 Apr 2007 09:07:43 -0700 Thank you Bob. Our materials won't
be ready until towards the end of this month, so I think placing a top
banner ad in July/August, Sept/Oct and Nov/Dec issues would fit our
timeline more (I'm assuming you publish the 1st of the month- so we
wouldn't be able to get you materials in time for May/June
publication). <No worries. Can be uploaded in a very short while>
The advertisement would be for the Southern California Caulerpa Action
Team. SCCAT is an organization made up of state and federal agencies
and funded by grants. <Ah, yes. Am familiar> We're focusing
on getting the word out about Caulerpa, an invasive saltwater seaweed
of which nine species have been banned in California because of its
ability to quickly overtake native species. (You may have heard of
it's effects in the Mediterranean Ocean.) <Yes... am a steady
supporter/proclamator re NOT releasing anything to the wild> Most
recently, two eradication efforts in Southern California took six years
and more than $7 million to complete. We want to avoid this happening
again and have an outreach program to educate people on how to
recognize it, how to dispose of it properly so it doesn't get into
our waterways, and learning why they shouldn't use it. We're
using advertisements as one medium to get the word out, and are also
looking to place articles in publications. <We have very wide
readership, a pervasive influence. Cheers, Bob Fenner> Tania E.

Notes to Bob and Jeff Hey Rene! Thank you for taking the time to chat this AM... For your kin's upcoming visit: Do make sure to pick up a cooler either at the King's Shops or Costco, Kmart, Wal-Mart... these are great places on the Big Island... for packing sodas et al. during your stay... going to, from the hotel... Though is a haul over the rough hallways there at the Hilton in Waikoloa... Maybe two coolers. While you're there, do call on Gerald Heslinga (if he'll see you... he's more than a bit of a recluse) at Indo-Pacific Sea Farms... and Carol and Craig at Ocean Rider (they're listed in the local phone books)... down at NELHA (just south of the airport/Keohole... Make sure and get in a "pizza night" down at Kona Brewing Company... in town (Kailua Old Industrial)... And the usual pitches for nice beaches... Hapuna (public) and Mauna Kea's (private, go early to get a parking placard... it's free otherwise)... Up for adventure? Got to make a run down to Kilauea Volcano Park... a day or so at Hilo's waterfalls et al... (do bring some lightweight rain gear if you have it... and flashlights if you're going to stay till dark to see the lava... And Waipio... a haul but real fun... And Parker Ranch has many attractions for young folks... Do look in "101 Things to do on the Big Island"... a circular at the Airport... esp. for the coupons for discounts, two-fors... And don't be shy re asking the locals what they do, where they eat et al... there are many great things to experience there... I will be out (at "A" Bay just south of where you're staying) for the Lavaman tri, but leaving unfortunately a day ahead of your arrival... Do send along your cell numbers (I don't have one...) and I'll call you if I extend. Our house number there is 808 331 0889.

Our input and info. re our Stat.s Server is here: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WWMAdminSubWebIndex/wwmsponsors.htm Bob Fenner> Coral Frenzy 3-13-07 Hello Bob, <Ken> We were wondering if you would be interested in trying out Coral Frenzy? It is an all in one coral food. We list out everything that is in CF on the label and on our website. We also stamp the date that it was manufactured right on the jar, so you know how exactly when it was made. <Have heard and read good things about your product... But, don't tell anyone... I actually only have a couple of good-sized African Cichlid systems going nowadays... Heeee!> We know that nothing is more nutritional than live and then the next is frozen. The problem is that the majority of people who keep reef tanks don't have the time, desire or discipline to feed those two ways. That is where Coral Frenzy comes in, nothing on the market currently has as many different ingredients, and for some reason none of them care enough to tell you what is in their products. Then to top it off, you don't know if that product was made last week or last year. <Yes> We are constantly improving our product. We are always working with our suppliers to improve their ways of processing in order to achieve higher nutritional values. We have wanted to contact you for some time now but we didn't know how you would be. <Heeee! About the same ole!> Scott Groseclose from Aquarium Specialty told us that we should drop you a line. <Hello to Scott!> Have a great day and we hope to hear from you soon. Thank you, Ken Easter www.coralfrenzy.com <Thank you for your kind offer. Bob Fenner> Re: Coral Frenzy 3-13-07 Hi Bob, <Ken!> Thank you for the quick reply. You are a funny man. <So I've been told...> Do you think WWM would be a good market for us to advertise with? <I do... we have a very large collection of friends, associates who ARE the growing, sustainable portion of our interest and trade... As you will see by perusing our stats server, look over the site itself.> You know your viewing market a lot better than we do. If you think it would be a good avenue for us to use could you send us some advertising information? <Oh, yes. Certainly. Our "spiel" is here: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WWMAdminSubWebIndex/wwmsponsors.htm along with the location, password for our stats server...> Thank you again for your time. Ken <Thank you Ken. Bob Fenner> Hello from Poconofishy... WWM revenues... 3/10/07 Hi Andy, I hope this find you well. This is Michelle Lemech, Poconofishy from NJRC. I'm not sure if you'll remember me, but I spoke with you at the NJRC holiday party. You showed me pictures on your Blackberry of you beautiful reef tank. I volunteer on the crew here at WetWebMedia and I though your company might be interested in doing some advertising on the WetWebMedia website. We've just gained the ability to place rotating banner ads on the site I've included the letter that is currently being circulated and I've also included the most recent website monitoring statistic. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Michelle <Wunderbar. B> Robert M. Fenner, author of The Conscientious Marine Aquarist, would like to announce that his website www.WetWebMedia.com now has newly created advertising space available. We presently have advertising space in the forms of both rotating banner ads and right side bar stills (Not sure what the "technical" name is here.) To celebrate this new development, we are currently offering special rates. Sign up for 10 months and get 2 months free. Who are we: WetWebMedia (WWM) is a website that offers Aquarium, Pond, and general aquatics information by Bob Fenner & the WWM Crew. Bob is a well respected world renown authority, and has been in the aquarium/ aquatic trade for over 40 years. (Boy, that makes you sound old) The WetWebMedia website currently receives over 15,000 unique visitors per day, and more than one million page views per month. It is one of the most popular and well regarded websites of it's kind on the Internet. This can be demonstrated by accessing our stat.s server: http://urchin02.ewr.datapipe.net/session.cgi and Username and Password: WetWebMedia (case sensitive). This tool and our tracking software with your password, as well as a tool on our Rotating Banner software, will allow you to keep tabs on your advertising effectiveness with us. What we do for you: We keep your customers in the hobby. It is estimated that 80-90 percent of the hobbyists, your real and potential customers, give up on the hobby within one year. To fight this trend, www.WetWebMedia.com is dedicated to providing accurate, timely, useful information to the hobbyist to help keep their corals, plants, fishes, and other organisms alive and healthy and thus keep them in the hobby. This obviously benefits everyone. By sponsoring WetWebMedia you ultimately will realize more customers because, more will stay in the hobby rather than getting discouraged and giving it up for good. Your company has a website and pays dearly for print and/or internet advertising. We encourage you to look at what your return on investment could be by advertising on WetWebMedia. What we offer: We offer two areas for your logo or banner on our website, the right sidebar and the top border. The top rotating banner spot is 468 by 60 pixels and is the premium spot for an ad, receiving about a million views per month. The rate for placement on the top border is $300 per month for our root (Marine/Reef) web and $500 universally (counting all six subwebs and our online magazine, the Conscientious Aquarist). The right side bar is also popular and the rates for placement there are only $200 per month. For little more than $7.00 per day, your ad or banner will be seen by many thousands of hobbyists daily. For your convenience we have PayPal capacity and offer an annualized discount of twelve months for the pre-payment of ten. Other services also include high quality image work and written content for your website or print.

I have a couple of questions for you, first do you offer a one month trial to see how things go. <Mmm, yes> The store doesn't pull in a lot of money so we would want to see if on-line sales increased before committing to a full year. <I am in total agreement.> Second, how many hits per day do you receive on your site that have ads visible. <Mmm... twenty some thousand... Our stats server and contact info. is posted: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WWMAdminSubWebIndex/wwmsponsors.htm> My name may be getting stuck in your head I have emailed you several times on my own behalf. Thanks, Ryan Nienhuis. <Ah, yes. Oh, and a hundred dollars a month for the root/marine-reef web per month for a few months will do. Bob Fenner> Re: Ad space, pricing. 3/9/07 Thank you for your reply. Either my computer is having issues or the link you sent be is "down', I cannot connect with it. <<Mmm, just checked: http://urchin02.ewr.datapipe.net/session.cgi and WetWebMedia for both the log-in and password works now...>> Just had one other simple question regarding your last statement. <Ah, yes. Oh, and a hundred dollars a month for the root/marine-reef web per month for a few months will do. Bob Fenner> What I don't understand is what parts of the site are covered by the root/marine-reef web. Could you please explain that to me? That is all, thank you. <Is the main/base of the site... All the saltwater articles, FAQs, indices... some 12k plus files... All that would be pertinent to your store. BobF> Ryan. Thank you [signed] 1/8/07 While I haven't actually asked you guys a question yet, I've read the questions/answers of many others. Your helpfulness has not only helped them, but has helped me in various situations. I was wondering if any of your sponsors (such as that fish place) give you a referral commission. This way, I can order products I need and support your great site. Thanks for all your help, Zach <Thank you for this Zach... we don't have such a contractual arrangement with our sponsors... But they do in fact "pay" up front for their links on our pages, underwriting the ISP (Internet Service Provider) fees, in turn sponsoring many Crew visits to pet-fish get-togethers, computer upgrades, scuba dive certifications, adventure travel... I do hope that folks mention WWM in their dealings with these fine companies... I assure you that the people involved are very aware of the good that we all do/share here in helping others... that directly and inadvertently builds the trade, their business interests. Cheers, Bob Fenner> Random image JavaScript/image 1/6/07 Hey Bob, Place the image in your appropriate banner image path e.g.(\bannerImages), change the image path in the script to the appropriate link e.g. (www.wetwebmedia.com/../bannerimages/omega.gif) and you should be good to go. If you have any headache with this call me tomorrow and I'll try to help you. I should be around most of the day - working. <Great! Am going to give this a go later... after doing the WWM thang> Also, if you think this is something you may want me to take over completely on an ongoing basis my dive funds this year look pretty bleak at this point. If I can do some animated gifs for your ads and be your banner ad consultant/whatever - I got to find a way to get in tropical water in 2007. <Ah, yes... will make you a big offer of selling the ads and making the gifs... for the first months revenue for any/all... or pay as we go for help and the gifs... Am quite anxious to get going on this> Also, check out this rock I found out about way off the Maui coast (by the Maui Prince hotel). <Very nice. Am going to make this the WWM pic of the day if you don't mind... Like the Holocentrus rufus grp. and the endemic Cirrhitid. B> -Dave Aquarium Aid 7/18/06 Hello Bob, I apologize but I am unable to reach Mike Kaechele. I would like to speak with you about placing our web page link to your sponsor listings. I would also like to use some of the wet web media articles and photos as content on our own site. Please contact me so that we can talk further Steven Powell Aquarium AID <Steven, has MikeK contacted you as yet? Have you read our sponsor page: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WWMAdminSubWebIndex/wwmsponsors.htm What do you have as a URL? Want placement on just the root/Marine web? On the entire site, all subwebs? How many articles, images are you interested in? Bob Fenner> Re: Confirmation: Your Amazon Honor System Balance Transfer - 5/19/2006 Bob, Yeah, we may have to put a blurb on the most visited pages and ask, "It is expensive to host and maintain the WetWebMedia website. If you feel that this free website has helped you out in any way, please donate a few bucks to help us pay the bills. Click here to make a donation--> Thanks!" Mike <A good idea... and to make this known, there are some large/r BB's in the interest that really generate revenue nowadays... with less usage than WWM... may be getting near that time. B> Sponsoring your site - 5/17/2006 Hi there, I enjoyed talking to you at western marine conference. What would pricing be to sponsor wet web media? My web-site is: http://www.themarinereef.com Sincerely, Josh Breeds <Mmm, did take a look... don't know that "advertising" would make sense here... But will place your URL as such... and am cc'ing MikeK here re. Thank you for the thought though. BobF> New WWM Advertiser 5/2/06

We only have 2 products for home aquarium but we do sell them to "That Fish Place", and "Drs Foster and Smith" as well as about 30 pet product distributors. <Good companies> We loathe the big box stores and only do business with the "independent retailers". I guess we're old enough to believe in independence and feel we need choices and stores where the consumer and hobbyist can get good information and service. We have kept some of your info since 91, can't say I've been updated as I don't use the computer, but I'm getting there now.

Aquarium Pharmaceuticals/Mars corp., Kent Marine/Central Garden and Pet, Tetra, Marineland, Jungle Labs/the Spectrum group. <Yes> It's like it will be one big Wal-Mart one day. Because our Microbe-Lift line does so well in the pond category and many pet dealers are carrying pond products and we see them at over 50 trade shows we do, they keep pushing us for our formulas home aquariums, so were going to do it and we're working on over 250 SKUs now. So we will be really interested on coming on board with your site, we do a lot of advertising to consumers (we have plenty of dealers and distributors). You can look up our present site at http://www.microbelift.com .

BobF... am out of sends for Hotmail today... will send to all tomorrow> Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2005 13:42:17 -0500 Hello Bob Fenner! Urchin is the world's most widely deployed web analytics system, and we have configured Urchin stats for your website WetWebMedia.Com with the following information: Login URL: http://urchin01.ewr.datapipe.net Additional Login for users: Username: WetWebMedia Password: WetWebMedia NOTE: Please change this upon your first login. Remember, you can view/download your site's raw log files at any time via FTP. After you log in with an FTP program (or even via most browsers at ftp://www.your_domain.com - be sure you substitute your actual domain for your_domain) you should see a folder named 'W3SVC...' parallel (next to) to each site's 'web' folder. As part of normal server maintenance, we must periodically clear old logs. Otherwise, log files would eventually consume all of the server's free disk space and bringing all sites to a standstill. If you make copies of your site's log files, we may be able to use them to reconstitute stats reports, should the need arise. If you do not have a copy of your log files and they're not still on the webserver (we do not back up log files), the log files will no longer exist. This means we would not be able to recreate stats reports in the event of a stats server catastrophic failure. The location of raw log files is different for *nix operating systems; the example applies to Windows machines only (NT4 and up). Please let us know if you need to find your raw *nix logs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Urchin can only import specifically formatted log files. This means that only new and properly formatted log files will allow Urchin to create statistical reports. Urchin's log file requirements mean that the server must generate logs hourly, (as opposed to daily or weekly). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DataPipe Support DataPipe Managed Hosting Services - What It Means To Be Sure - support@datapipe.com | http://www.datapipe.com Tel: +1.888.749.5821 | +1.201.792.4847 Banner for Reed Mariculture Bob, I hope you had a great Christmas trip to Florida. Randy Reed from Reed Mariculture would like to advertise on the right shared border of the WWM. Attached is the banner he wishes to place. Would you like me to try and place it and if so when is a good time to do it? Randy also needs information on how and when to send in payment. Mike <Will place the one (attached) for Randy/Reed Mariculture... Rand, this OK? We will bill you in arrears about the mid-month following. Thank you for your support, fine products. RE: Banner for Reed Mariculture Hi Bob, Somehow the banner I sent over seems to have gotten lost. Here is a new copy of it. Please let me know if it's acceptable. Thank you, Randy <Hey Rand! Did replace the other one with this. Please see here: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/marine/index.htm Will I see you mid next month at the SeaBay do? http://www.seabay.org/index.htm BobF> Re: Banner for Reed Mariculture Hi Bob, <Randy> The link on your website looks great. Could you point it to http://www.phyto-feast.com instead on http://www.reed-mariculture.com? That way our customers can find the product much easier. 99% won't care a bit about our aquaculture products. <Ahh, done! Though will take a good quarter hour to roll through the few thousand pages...> I'm going to try to be at the meeting that night, and then I'm leaving the next day for the World Aquaculture show in New Orleans. See you there! Randy <Great! Hope to see you then/there. BobF> Euro-Reef Sponsorship Hey Bob, <Hello there Jeff!> Lange tijd, en jonge! <Yes, long time since I've seen you and your father> I see you are still doing what you do so well. I was thinking about you the other day and realized, "we aren't even sponsoring WWM!?". Let me know what's involved, I'd like to support for you're doing. <Ahh, you do "sponsor" us... and the trade, with your fine products> All the best from the Macares' -Jeff Macare <Am referring you to friend MikeK who helps out with this arena. Hope to see you soon. Bob Fenner> WWM ad stuff Hi Bob- That sounds fine to me...The more exposure, the better..! I think Adam will agree? Reminds me- I'm due to follow up with Aqua Medic this week as a potential sponsor...Let's keep those fingers crossed! Scott F. <Will do... wish you guys were out here in HI diving with us. How'd your certification finish up? Are you keen to try some warm, clear water... with tropicals in it? BobF> Advertising Hi Bob, <Hey there Randy, long time no chat> Reed Mariculture has a new line of marine microalgae products for home aquariums and my friend Paul Mansur has strongly encouraged me to be a sponsor on your website to help promote the products. Could you send me advertising rates and information? <Yes, thank you for your query. A friend, Mike Kaechele, handles all our advertising/sponsor efforts. Will cc him here> Talk to you soon, Randy Reed Reed Mariculture www.Reed-Mariculture.com Toll free 877-732-3276 (North America) Phone 408-288-8121 / Fax 408-884-2322 <Chat with you soon and thank you. Bob Fenner> WWM, frags.org Hi Mr. Fenner, <Kris> Mike suggested I get in touch with you. In fact, I think we have emailed in the past. I wanted to suggest an idea to you regarding WWM and frags.org. Would you be interested in creating a WWM branded version of frags.org -- to offer to your members? This WWM branded site would look like your site, it would carry your advertising, and would offer the feel and functionality of the frags.org service. An example of a site we have built for reefs.org is www.frags.org/?referer=reefsorg. Another example is http://www.frags.org/?referer=rag. <Mmm, no> The benefit to you is more pages to advertise on, as well as providing a service like frags.org to your visitors. The benefit to us is more traffic to the frags.org service, which provides more inventory and more propagated coral availability. <No thanks. We don't want to align ourselves with any given product, company> All that is needed to move forward is your ok, I will brand the pages based on your current website, and then provide a mockup for you to preview. Once acceptable, we would then put a link on every one of your pages to this service --- you could even call it "WWM frag trading" or whatever you would like. I look forward to your response. Best, Kris frags.org admin <Thank you for your offer. Bob Fenner> Question on a link, selling on commission through banner ads on WWM Bob, <Robert> I run a business called Aqua botanic. You asked me to put a link on my WEB site to yours a year or so ago, which I did! <Mmm, actually, I've never asked anyone to place a link to our sites> I now have an affiliate program, where WEB sites like yours can earn 12% commission on sales by running my banners ads. I sell aquatic plants, C02 systems, lighting, and even aquariums. A typical sale is over $100 and sales over $500 are not uncommon. You could make a substantial amount of money simply by running my banner ads on your WEB site. Would you be interested? Robert Hudson www.aquabotanic.com <If it would serve our readership, possibly. We're not looking to sell anything per se. Bob Fenner> Re: Question on a link, selling on commission through banner ads on WWM Well, you did ask me to put up a link, because that was the first time I had ever heard of your site. This was the url you emailed me to add : http://www.wetwebmedia.com/AqGardHP.htm it is no longer valid. Does that ring any bells? <Nope, but not too surprising if waaaaay back. At any length, have checked and your company name was listed as an etailer, but the link was not live... is now> Would it benefit your readers? Are your readers interested in plants? <Our most popular root web is marine, second is freshwater... the plant subweb is not very complete and so would say we only have a few hundred folks (out of about 14k per day) that "go there"> FAMA published a four page spread of photos and an article I wrote in last December's issue. I had three articles published in TFH. I am one of the largest online dealers of live aquatic plants, C02 equipment, lighting, aquariums, and all sorts of other things either directly or indirectly related to freshwater plants. Do you have advertising sponsors? <Yes, please see here: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WWMAdminSubWebIndex/wwmsponsors.htm We might work something out that is less expensive, or better give you a "two-for" contract for space on both the freshwater and live plant subwebs> Affiliate banner ads is an alternative to having advertising sponsors. You display a banner ad, people click on it, they go to my WEB site, they buy something, you get 12%. It is a good way to offset the cost of WEB management, or to put more money in your pocket. Your readers are happy, you are happy, I'm happy. Everybody is happy! The affiliate software is a hosted third party system, like an ISP, so it is all very secure. They are the leading affiliate program in the world, so they are not going out of business anytime soon. I have been in business since 1999, I am a published author, I have a interactive forum with over 2200 registered members from over 20 different countries, I have a reference database WEB site dedicated to aquatic plants that is second only to the KRIB, and I get over 100.000 unique visitors a month in traffic.... so I am not going out of business anytime soon either and I have a reputation to uphold. Does that pretty much cover it? :) Robert <We're not interested in a sales percentage program. Bob Fenner> Re: % Sales offer So you would take my banner ad as a sponsor, but not as an affiliate? That's interesting. You would take a flat fee instead of unlimited sales percentage. <Mmm, we have an ever-unfolding "game-plan" that is likely better played by not affiliating ourselves with sales through any given outlet/s> That's a better deal for me! Less money for me to pay out! Here is the link with more information, if you change your mind I would always be interested. http://coldfusion.affiliateshop.com//SignupAffiliatePage.cfm?WID=001022 Best regards Robert <Thank you for your interest, input and involvement in the trade. Bob Fenner> Sponsor-WWM credit question ">Side note: I assume your site is an affiliate of Dr. Foster & Smith. >>They are a sponsor. Also, they bought out Flying Fish Express's business. >Do they place a tracking cookie on my machine so every time I shop their you get the affiliate credit? Or do I have to click thru your link every time in order for you to get the credit??? <Have to click through> >>This is a very good question, and I don't have the answer. Jason most likely does.. and in any event, if possible, I suppose letting them know that you've seen them on our site wouldn't hurt. >Let me know and I will certainly make a point of it. Have bought over $400 stuff through there so far and counting." <Thank you for your query, support. Bob Fenner> Dropping your ad (to do: save until printer works, send billing) Walt, we're dropping your Reefer Madness ad for lack of payment (3 months past due). If you'd like to re-up, please see that the six hundred dollars is sent for it (a billing will be sent USPS) plus the long-overdue PAF past balance of $750. Bob F Jas, Zo, drop the banner add for Reefer Madness and all other WWF, WWM mentions of WSI, PAF. Thanks, Bob, Hey Bob, Sorry to see this note. Need to get a few things straight. Does WWM ever send a bill? <Every month... and I've called and personally spoken with you re arrears> when I was talking to Deborah about this she mentioned that she does not remember ever seeing billing regarding this. Our procedure is to give all bills to our accountant which in turn get paid. Also Reefer Madness should be billed to the owners in Colorado and they will make sure the accountant gets the bill. <Mmm, never heard of anyone in Colorado> I am not positive but I do not think any bills have been sent to any address which is why it may have slipped through the cracks. Also, PAF bills need to be sorted out exactly which months are owed ... before March would be me and after March would be Dave. Please inform me with the details of this account and I will make sure it is handled even though I am in Fiji right now for the next month. Cheers, Walt <Okay. As stated in previous correspondence, if you (whoever) want to re-start the ad, Pls pay up. Thank you, Bob F> Re: Dropping your ad Robert, Do not send any bills to 1571, please use the follow address... RMI 28364 S. Western Avenue, #325 Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275 Thanks, Glenn <Okay Glenn, will do. Bob Fenner. Jason, Pls re-instate the rotating banner ad for RMI> Please leave for Bob, re Marine Depot Hi Bob, How do we go about sponsoring again? <Hi Wayland, (and hi to Ken) good to hear from you (we... Di, Pete, Jas and I are in Hawai'i), let's see: there's our fab rotating banner ad on WetWebFotos for two hundred dollars per month, and the top and right shared border ads on the WWM root web: (and a spiel there re: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WWMAdminSubWebIndex/wwmsponsors.htm> Also, the listed information you have is incorrect. Should be 1300 East Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92805, 714-385-0080. sales@marinedepot.com Best regards, Wayland Marine Depot www.marinedepot.com 714-385-0080 tel 714-385-0180 fax <Thank you for your interest and the input. Will have MikeK follow up with you re. Bob Fenner> Marine Depot Ken Wong 2110 South Grand Ave. Santa Ana, CA 92705 |
