We are starting a new website with the top links to all the best tv
shows.  With these links we also include links to the best sites
dedicated the characters or actors of the show.  We have included your
site in our links to the best ER websites and we
would appreciate it if your could include a link to us
(http://tvsearchengine.8m.com/er/er.html) on your page to help us get
the ball rolling.  We will also soon be posting the top ten ER related
sites based on visitor voting so a link to us from your page would
enable your visitors to come and vote for your page.  Thanks a lot.

I will be happy to participate in your contest. I desperately want to be the #1 ER-related site based on visitor voting, because that's such a k00l way to keep track of how much the 14 year-old kids like you, and you know, 14 year-old kids are my target demographic. Are you going to have one of those neat "Add my vote" buttons on your Web site, too? I like "Add my vote" buttons. They do wonders for a site. It's important to let users contribute to your site, and asking them to vote on meaningless things makes them feel useful and wanted. It makes them empowered. Look at Deja Ratings -- what a cool idea, huh?

If I get to be the #1 Web site, what do I win? Do I get a prize? Will you wax my car? Can I vote for myself? Can my sock puppets vote for me too? I really want to win.

Sincerely,

erfaq@digiserve.com
