Now, I don’t take adverts (see “Buy a Blogger”) but I am curious about how this works. I emailed the site to see if they would mind if I blogged on this issue. I got this reply back.
Hi John,
Thanks for the email.Yeah your proposal would be great. Let me know when you make the post so I can have a read.

Is such “bartering” a way forward for blogs or is such requests just unwanted “spam”.
Of course the fact that I wouldn’t watch football even if it was free...
