Dear weird and spammy-sounding emails asking me if you can advertise on my blog:
I know the traffic it gets. You're either blanket spamming addresses, or are extremely poor at market research.
Keep your alleged money, and I won't place the ad. You'll get the same # of clicks.

@shawnp0wers You also get proposals from e-mailers if they can write an article on your site, or suggest a site for you to mention in an article?
@shawnp0wers I like that comparison.
@hehemrin Yes, the former in particular. And it's so odd. My blog is both very unpopular, and also very clearly my personal thoughts.
It's like asking someone if you could wear their socks for a day.
