But when you are spamming people, it is hard to do homework on a list of 5,000 e-mail adresses. Was the email at all personalized? That was obviously not a good deal for you.

I think I was contacted by the same dude. I got an offer of $130 for a "life-long" text ad in one of my music blogs. Good points you wrote here, thanks. It reminded me to do some homework before contacting the owner of one site I have been interested in. The problem is that the site has no contact information and whois gives nothing. I have no idea how to figure out the owner. Heh.. I think I was contacted by the same dude. I got an offer of $130 for a “life-long” text ad in one of my music blogs.

I am a naturally cynical person and I always suspect the worst hence I try and find out as much as possible about people, places and services before making a decision. The issue of how to value links or advertising space is a difficult. I have been approached by a local lawyer about advertising on one of my local information websites that ranks very well. The traffic isn't very high, but the competition is very low. How do I go about pricing an advert? Jim some very good points there.
