More stupid emails, guess what it’s about and win a prize
Following on from my pointless email post, I received the following email today. Here it is in it’s entirety:
Hi Guys,
I have attached a form that I would very much appreciate you to fill in. The finalised document will be sent to the client so they have an idea of the sites, rates etc you have,
Please send this back as soon as poss,
Many thanks,
Tristan
I did not know the sender, and have never spoke to him before, nor do I recognise the company he works for. It was a completely unsolicited email. If anyone can correctly identify what it is about then I will give them a voucher so they can take the Microsoft adExcellence exam for free (normally $50). Please leave your answer in the comments below.

Welcome to my blog. My name is Kieron Donoghue and I am the founder of ShareMyPlaylists.com, ContentNow.co.uk and some other businesses. I thought it would be fun to blog, writing about my experiences in Internet Marketing. I'll include some personal stuff too, probably about my other passions, music and cars. Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts too.
I’ve no idea what it’s about, but you’re getting grumpier than me - have a holiday or something
My guess is that someone is wanting to sell advertising on your site to one of their clients. Or is wanting to know how much to place a link on your site.
He is trying to identify all of your websites disguised through wanting to “purchase” advertising. I’m guessing that the form he sent you to fill out asked for all of your domains and the advertising costs of each.
Hi Kieron,
This question has nothing to do with your above post but how many sales do you think you get from cookies on peoples computers ? or does that depend on the offer ?
Thanks
I don’t know the answer, but what an amazing prize.
Jason - I could never take the grumpy crown from you!
Sean and Chad, nice one, you’re both correct. The email was from a new agency wanting details of all my websites etc. However I only found this out when I emailed him back and asked him what he was on about. Anyway, voucher codes for adExcellence on their way to you.
SCM - I really don’t know what you mean. As you say a lot depends on the consumer offer and also the cookie length which could be anything from 1 day to 999 days.
I have the answer, because I got the same email and followed it up.
They are representing PokerStars.com who are doing a large European launch and looking for Poker affiliates, hence why I got it, and you for your Poker site.
They were looking for CPM deals!
I must admit that the lack of any info in the email was what prompted me to look who they were because there company did check out..
