Hi,

I just visited your site (www.club57.co.uk ). After a more in depth evaluation you appear to fit the criteria to become publisher on MediosOne. I would like to speak with you regarding purchasing advertising on your site and next steps.

However, I need your help. In order to move forward I need some additional information about your site. Please help by answering as many of the following questions as possible:

1. From which countries does most of your traffic originate?
2. How many total ad impressions per month do you serve?
3. How are you currently selling your inventory (on a Rev-share, CPM, CPC, or CPA basis), and what are the price points for the different ads on your site?
4. Please include any other important or helpful regarding your site. Thanks

I look forward to your response and working with you in the future.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Sincerely,

Joanne Oriel

How much of this should I really trust, or is there any catch? I mean as i understand they are asking what space is available for advertising and how much it would cost?

and could someone help me out with the point nr 3? what is she asking exactly?

So I don't suppose they have many advertisers, unless of course they are just another 23 tier reseller of PPC ads

Be wary of people scoping out the competition in this manner.....

With the exception of #3, if you are looking for more advertisers, you should put that info in your site, anyway.

Those are legitimate questions advertisers will ask.

And if it is a competitor, so what?

If you are still hesitiant, get their number so you can call them.
