Ha..ya, I got an email from them too. I responded back a few days ago with questions since I was pretty positive (before even reading this thread) they contacted everyone who was nominated for a Plutus and I wanted to know if they were actually serious since I wasn't sure how my blog/brand would fit into their site AT ALL. I don't write about trends, stocks or heavy investing. I was kind of annoyed that they would even pitch an offer that would be silly to accept even if I was interested since my content doesn't at all fit in with what they provide.
I think had they taken ONE look at my site they'd see that it wasn't even remotely in the same genre..yes, I'm a PF blogger, but my audience and my tactics are not even close to theirs. *facepalm* I don't want to work with a company that obviously spams but pretends to be legit. I hope if anyone else works with this site they have a better experience and wish you the best!
I'm such a newb to getting offers like this, and it seems this week I got several "opportunities" pitched that were just no bueno. "Oh you mean, you won't charge ME to put a sponsored post for YOUR client with some content around it on my blog? Gee golly gosh, I'll take a hit in page rank for that great offer! How generous you offered! Derp!" I'm hoping it gets better than this because I'm slightly agitated at the sheer number of emails I got like this in just one week.. *le sigh*
