I got an interesting email today. It was in the spam folder, but I thought I'd check it anyway, in the hopes that I'd have a Nigerian scam mail.
Hello,
We have reviewed your blog on behalf of one of our clients that would
be interested in placing advertising with you.
Theme A forum dedicated to those things that came out right
and worked out fine.
We'd like either a 150x150 button, 160x600 skyscraper or 468x60 full
banner (or footer). Alternatively, we may be interested in text-only
advertising.
This would be a weekly, monthly or yearly arrangement. In either case
we will require a one time, one day (24 hours) free placement in order
to test the quality and quantity of traffic your website can actually
provide*. Within this interval, we will make a final determination,
based on the traffic volume, quality, and your asking price. Should
we find your terms acceptable, this trial day will count towards the
agreed interval.
Kindly let us know if you would be interested, which arrangement best
suits your editorial needs, and what rates you would like to charge.
We prefer using PayPal but may be able to accommodate alternative
payment methods.
Thank you.
*Please note that we employ software that reliably detects autoclick
and autosurf bots, pay per click and paid to surf type traffic, and
other such non-human traffic. This may be a concern for you,
especially if you are buying "bulk traffic", or employing the
services of dubious "SEO experts".
I'm sure they'd be quite disappointed at the traffic this blog generates. I can't think of a full dozen people who read it at all, much less check it on a regular basis. What's an "SEO expert" anyway?

cHa! I got one of those emails also. I think it's spam =( Sorry to let you down. I hope you have a great trip to NY. I've never been there myself, but always wanted to.
Bah. You get all the best spam.
Okay I have now been to NY! Only for a short trip as hubby and I had some business to tend to. The traffic is unreal, some cabby rear ended us (all are okay) and we had a yummy lunch at a cafe! I am definately going again!
