I'm looking for established sites that would like to offer free e-mail to their users.
You're thinking "if I wanted to do that I'd use Everyone.net or BigMailBox or OutBlaze.". Well here's my answer to that. There's a reason you're not using those sites. It's because with their technology you can't INTEGRATE the e-mail fully into your site.
You can't make the e-mail look like it's really part of your site. Any experienced internet user would be able to tell that you used a "snap together" internet service to offer the free e-mail.
This is where I come in. I am looking for sites with decent amounts of established traffic (in excess of 100,000 page views a month) who would like to offer free e-mail that is actualy quality. I know it's quality because each page of the e-mail is completely customizable (by me) so that the e-mail service will look beautiful and actually be a compliment to your site.
For an example of what can be done check out my current partner site and the site that I've done to compliment his site.
http://www.pdark.com <- His site
http://www.pdark.net <- my site
Notice that the graphics on my site match his. I DID NOT STEAL these graphics or the accompanying code. He gave me permission so that I could make my site LOOK and FEEL like his. His users don't know that there is any third part involved in this and that is the beauty. It's seamless.
What do you (the original site owner) get from this deal? The ability to offer your users a perfectly integrated e-mail service that will build loyalty to your site.
*Note Looking for sites that have a complimentary domain name available. Like with Pdark.com. The domain with the .net extension wasn't taken so it made this deal easy. If you happen to own the .net extension and aren't using it for anything then I would propose to buy it from you. Not at on exorbitent rate but at the REAL price of $35 plus any transfer fees. The domain would then be mine but you will have in writing that I will never put anything on the .net extension besides the agreed upon e-mail services. The reason for this is that I don't want you to decide to stop the mail after a few months and then I'm out a large sum of money from time investments with the service.
Please mail me if interested or post here if you just want to chat about it more
