Prerequisites

  1. Make sure you have a 88x31 button ready. It would probably be best if it is somewhere where I could easily find it, but I’d prefer it if you didn’t include it in the email.
  2. Be polite. Check over your email and make sure that you probably are not going to come off as either particularly pompous or dumb. Either one would decrease the chance of me accepting.
  3. Check your spelling. Please.
  4. Websites only; no forums. Your website’s topic can be anything vaguely similar to what I have up: Pokémon isn’t necessary, but stick with something I have something about.
  5. Your content must be at least mostly appropriate. Swearing is fine; pornography is not. Use your judgement.
  6. Show that you put some effort into your site. If it’s very generic, or your layout sucks, or your images are hueg liek x-box, then I probably am not interested.
  7. Your site must not be dead. However, I do not expect daily updates. I do not even expect a remotely-consistent updating schedule! Just update eventually. If your lulls are longer than my longer ones (three months, typically), there might be a problem.
  8. I must like your site at least slightly. If I die inside, then you are not going to get accepted. I am picky. I tend to ask other people what they think, too. If it sucks, I will say no.

If your website meets all of these criteria, feel free to email me. Or contact me somewhere. I’m not about to be upset if you send me a PM on The Cave of Dragonflies Forums asking to affiliate.

On Page View Requirements (and why I think they’re stupid)

One common theme for affiliation requirements for various websites is getting a certain number of page views per day. This - and I’m trying not to be biased because this site is not exactly the most popular site ever - is stupid. One of the main reasons why people try to affiliate with similar sites is that they want more people to look at their site. This is all well and good, as - with any luck - both people will get more attention.

The issue with requiring someone’s site to be At Least This Popular to Enter is that gee, not everyone has a consistent audience. People will look at whatever they want to look at and use what they want to, even if it’s really bad and there are better alternatives that are easier to use. SPP’s Pokédex is absolutely atrocious in comparison to Veekun’s and it isn’t that hard to tell which one is better. Popular does not mean good. Unpopular does not mean bad.

Popularity means diddly-squat on its own. Judge something on its virtues (or lack thereof) rather than how many people look at it and go Hey, this is kind of neat.. Think for yourself, why don’t you? Mind you, unpopular things are frequently not as good as the popular sort, but it still is not as all-important as many people act.
