Subject: can i buy an ad on your teacher julie site?

Hey ______,

Your list of “you might be in Education” is really funny…and true. I like #14

Say, I was wondering if I can place an ad on this page http://teacherjulie.com/2006/08/05/you-might-be-in-education/
for someone who runs an online learning site?

I don’t have much, but I can pay $___ for an ad there. If this works for you let me know and I’ll send you over the ad and the payment.

Thanks,
A___K____

This was the reply I made:

can i buy an ad on your teacher julie site?

A____,

Thank you for the interest in putting an ad in that particular page. I am skeptic though because you see, the post I made was not my own since the source can be found below it, www.teachingheart.net. I think that that would not be fair to the site where I got the article.
I am sorry I think I have to refuse your offer, even if it sounds so tempting because your $____ is a lot of money where I am.

I hope you understand.

Best Regards,

P.S. #14 is funny, yes, I am a teacher but I do homeschooling.

To which the man replied again:

Magandang Umaga!

Thanks for getting back to me so soon. Great News – I took another look at your site and found 6 pages that I’d like to get ads on. I can offer you $_____ for advertising on these 6 pages.

Here are the 6 pages I’d like to get ads on:

http://homeschooling.teacherjulie.com/2007/11/11/sibika-mag-anak-family/
http://teacherjulie.com/2007/11/23/amazing-blogger-award/

http://homeschooling.teacherjulie.com/2007/09/07/bodies-of-water-anyong-tubig/
http://homeschooling.teacherjulie.com/?s=fruits

On this page http://homeschooling.teacherjulie.com/2008/02/01/science-centrum-field-trip/, here’s the ad that I’d like:

—————————————–
http://www.dimacc.com/users/Alex/teacherjulie.html
—————————————–

Please avoid using the words “ADS” or “SPONSOR” as this actually decreases clicks.

If this works for you I’ll send you over the other 5 ads for the other pages. Once they’re live, I will pay you through PAYPAL or a CHECK (whichever you’d prefer).

Thank you for your time,

A____

I don’t know but I didn’t reply back.

Then in a group mail subscription that I am a part of, JMom included a link that made me think about this harder.

Were those offers I got were from underground text link server?

Photos make posts more interesting. But if there are many photos to accompany a post, or if one is posting a series of photos to describe a place or show a series of events, there should be modifications done to the photos.

What specific modification?

Have the photos resized. How?

Why the need to do these?

Even when emailing photos, it is best to have these resized.

I use 300 pixels in width for photos in this blog.
