    Think this sounds like basic affiliate marketing to me...they will probably just want you to put the link on but will only pay you for everyone that clicks on the link or how many people make a purchase after clicking the link on your page. Or they may just want to give you some cash for xx months of advertising. You must have a pretty decent blog for them to want to do this.

    Doesn't seem dodgy at all to me...

    thank you i may investigate further
  • I have a number of paid links on my home page and they're not on a pay per click basis. I charge on a monthly basis, it's definitely worth investigating further - see if the company is the sort of company you would want your blog to link to.
