This just reeks of sales pitch. I've been blogging for six years. I've got some adsense on my blog ( http://www.puremango.co.uk ) but I don't relate to that jargon about publishers, ad spaces, industry lowest fees. It's a hobby not a business. WTF is tenancy pricing? I have a zone?

Use something more like this instead:

Hi Howard,

Really enjoying your blog. I see you're running adsense at the moment. I'd really appreciate some comments from you on my advertising system. If you're interested I'll set you up with a free beta account. You don't have to commit to putting our ads on your blog, I really just want some feedback from quality bloggers who understand advertising.

Let me know if that sounds like something you'd be interested in.

Thanks, Samuel, founder of Adclays.

PS: Ok, it's been ten hours. You should have emailed me to invite me to your beta program. I'm your target market and I've shown interest and a willingness to provide feedback. Isn't that exactly what you want? Why aren't you chasing me up?

Hello, thanks for the reply and advice. I was really busy today so couldn't check HN until now. I would definitely send you an email soon.

absolutely. A personal message will carry so much more weight. I get tons of advertising requests and they barely get read because I can tell they are boilerplate.

Thanks for the comment. That point has been noted and would help me approach bloggers better.
