Hi Francis,

I was wondering whether you’d be interested in selling advertising space on Ss-Burnout.com? The advertisement would be unobtrusive and we can pay you an annual upfront payment for the advertising space.

Uh-huh.  Unobtrusive ads?  Annual upfront payment?  Riiiiight.

We can also provide guest blog posts from industry experts in many cases.

I’m allergic to buzzwords.  There’s a few here already.

I am from Media Discovery, a new media agency headquartered in the UK. We plan out and acquire advertising space on major websites and portals, as well as smaller niche sites. I personally deal with our smaller publishers, increasing brand awareness and share of voice for the major brands that our group works with.

Crikey.  More buzzwords.  Major brands?  Like who?

We’d love to work with your site. If you have any questions or would like further information, please do not hesitate to email me directly.

Kind Regards,
Ronnie Vargas

If you ask me, this whole thing sounds hokey and weird.  Any of our readers have any experience with this dude, or this company?

Edit 4/4/13 – It seems that I’m not the only one that’s been contacted by this company.  For those of you that found this page via google, I highly recommend looking at the comments below.  They’ve posted some good stuff.

Edit 9/2/13 – Wow.  You guys are still at it?  Well, for those of you that are new to this saga, scroll through the comments.  Now it’s a debate of keeping your blog’s integrity over selling out.
