would you pay to have your sites mentioned in the news?
 

Lets say a reporter would mention your site on the news in a major city like nyc for $1000 would you take that offer? It wouldn't be an ad for your site but like a "news report"

well depends what the name of the site was, if it was a tame name ya.

Only if it would incite controversy. Like if it got the reporter fired and he sued them, etc.

yes, but only if i also had a tangible product i sold myself, i would never do it for a sponsor though
