Getting An Offer …

Hmmmm …

Seriously, hmmmm …

I’ve got to admit, these are difficult times, aren’t they?

Recession, collapsed banks, government loans, increasing unemployment, what have you, it’s not looking good out there, is it?

So, when I got this sent to me, I thought “Oh, looks good.”

But was … well … a touch sceptical …

The start-up company concerned seem to be offer to pay bloggers for short posts for various clients, and a share of the advertising revenue.

So long as you don’t actually give away that it’s a sponsored post …

It does actually look quite good, from where I’m sitting.

Until I got to the actually page that listed their clients.

Which gave me a ‘404: Not Found’ error page.

So, I’ll be frank, while I’m tempted, I’m going to thank everyone who’s suggested I hold off, for now.

That seems the sensible idea, for now.

    i avoid all advertising, even adsense, no-ones going to thank you for it, and IMHO you will lose readers :0

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
