If you like the web stats you see and you think they would make a suitable subaffiliate to your program all you have to do from this point is look for the webmasters contact details listed on their website and send them a proposition to join your program. If you cant find there contact details on there website you can usually find them by using the Alexa toolbar. Just click on the Alexa button in the upper left corner of your browser. This will bring you to there main page. Youll usually find there contact details listed midway down.
