Newstex?
Has anyone who reads us syndicated their blog through Newstex? We just received an offer to do so and wondered how it works out in reality.
My guess is that it’s harmless, worth some extra links in otherwise unlikely places, and given the nature of our content has almost no chance of ever accumulating into a single $25 minimum royalty payment, let alone enough of them to be meaningful compared to $100 or so a month in ad revenue.
Do I read it right? Or is it not harmless? Or more likely to be remunerative than I’d expect?
They’re the ones I mentioned to you a few months back. Peter Sean looked over the contract they sent me and after discussing it with him, I decided against it.

I think you have it right. You’ll get a lot more exposure and maybe some pocket change… The fact that they’ve contacted you is probably because you have a great blog.
Do a little research on them before you decide. It is, however, worthwhile.
