Yeah a great submit, one of my clients is just about to sign a deal with Forbes, I will forward this onto him. Looking forward to him getting his RSS pulled by them, hopefully he will get nice dofollow links out of it.

I have never looked into the ad networks -at least not beyond getting the $2/cpm mentioned by another commentor. After that, I never even bothered. But, it is good to see the recent new ad network options popping up. Maybe that will help to lower their margin in the favor of the publishers.If I ever decide to look into this again, I now feel more prepared -as I do not usually look over the legal stuff so much. I will DEFINITELY read now that I know there are so many pitfalls! Great post.Thank you,Brandon
