I recently got an email from this company. Exact same format as yours but with my site name and alexa rank changed.
I sent it to the trash straight away.

The only part that worries is how they got my private email address and sent it to that. I keep my site emails and personal email separate.

Stay Away from them at all costs I reckon. Spam!

Here was my response to them

“Thank you for your email. I checked out your site and i love it. We would be happy to provide a link for you. We will take it to another level and provide an entire page. However, we will require a $4800 payment up front. Contact us for payment arrangements”.

Needless to say, they went away

I have received the same kind of mail several times, but each time i try to visit their website i get error message. May be they have gotten the require number of magas? But if they are really true they should have done something.

I have not seen anybody that says they are ok!

Hi,

I received the same email with the $4,800 offering. I investigated the site, but didn’t go any further with it.

In 99.9% of cases, if an offer looks too good to be true, you can bet it is too good to be true!

This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t dream and set large goals for yourself. I simply mean that rather than falling for get-rich schemes, we are better off working on our own products, services, websites, blogs, or whatever, and growing a strong foundation from which we can realize our dreams.

My best regards,
Laurie

I got this email too. I was actually excited to get it and joined the affiliate program right away. After adding the banner to my website and 4 weeks into the program, I earned over $700. Not nearly the $4800 but I really don’t have enough traffic to pull those kind of numbers. However, for a free opportunity to earn from the contactthem network, I say it was worth it. Also, if I choose, I can remove tha banner at any time and still earn the revenue of that first month…not planning to take it down but it’s an option readily available.

On the issue of spam, I understand that partnership emails are non-commercial…not to say some won’t be annoyed.

Needless to say, I also joined the membership and use the sotware of the contactthem network daily too. 982 websites are now affiliated with my banner and building more traffic than I could ever imagine building for myself and making me even more commissions.

I think it’s great!

I wouldn’t touch this with a ten foot pole!

Other than the fact YOU’D be sending spam to people (and added to their junk folders… permanently)…

They are using a bait and switch technique.

They’re presenting it like they’re paying you for placing their link on your website.

But, if you read the small print (and, you HAVE to read the small print to find this out), you’re actually only paid for purchases of their mailing system (or should I say “spamming system”) made by your referrals.

It’s an underhanded, unethical, and probably illegal method to promote a multi-level program.

I recommend you STAY AWAY.
