Run up the price, then take the money and run.
I'd probably write up some sort of agreement stating what kinds of ads you won't run... and then make sure that the sites they link meet those conditions... then again, the whole thing does sound a trifle odd.
From: "Daniel & Anna Medley" damedley at comcast.net
I got an e-mail from someone who has expressed interest in placing ads on my
site. They have a couple of different options; one is to place small text
links throughout my site and they would pay $20 a month per link.
The second option would be for them to set up 5 sub-domains off of my web
site. They would then create a mini site ad campaign on this web space and
would host it themselves. They would then place a number of text links to
the sub-domain ad campaigns.
They say that the links would be to shopping/research portals based on broad
topics like "investing" "software" and "finance" and would not include any
adult, gambling, or pharmaceutical content.
What I'm wondering, has anyone here heard of this type of advertising? What
are some things that I should be cautious of? For some reason my inner
warning signal went off. Any thoughts at all would be appreciated.
Basically, I'm just some schmuck running a blog that gets some consistent
traffic.
Regards,
Daniel Medley
