Recently, I was approached by someone asking if they could guest post on my site. This person isn't from the Yakezie Network, and the website she wants to include a link back to is http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com. Should i promote her anyways and allow her guest post?

Seems like someone who wants FREE advertisement. I would fashion a response similar to:
"Hi xxx,
I really appreciate your offer to guest post on my site. After looking at your website, this seems like it would be more suitable for a sponsored post. I am happy to offer a sponsored post at: $xx per 1 link, $xxx per 2 links. The links would be alive for x months (usually 12 months is a good start).
My site currently enjoys a monthly readership of x,xxx unique visitors, an Alexa rank of xxx,xxx, and <insert any other stat such as Twitter followers, Facebook fans, RSS subscriberts, etc.>.
Please let me know if this is something you are interested in.
Thanks!"
I would think hard about what you want to charge for this. It is also always open to negotiation, so maybe let them know that.

Agreed – ask for a sponsored post fee. Or offer to take the post w/o a link to a company or a personal blog.

I had them advertise on my site two years ago. Ask for a fee. They want free PR.

Shoot high, debt consolidation people are used to getting turned away. If they decline, reply that you're concerned about them being in a "bad neighborhood" in Google and that the price is justified. Nothing like a minor slap on the cheek to get them thinking twice.

I agree with everyone here…ask him to do it as a sponsored post!

Yep, ask for a little bit of money. I hosted some ads from them, and they'll offer you something. It's not a ton of money though.

Realistically, how much should I ask for?

should I make her an offer, or allow her to set the price first?

I've put a guest post from that site before. I asked them if they would pay for a sponsored posting, and they said no. Eventually, I removed the link from the article body and placed it in the intro line, and gave it to them for free.

Hi Jeff!
I think this is a public forum so people are probably wary of putting prices in here. Shoot me an email at frugalconfessions [at] hotmail.com and I'll help you out.

The only thing I would recommend is not putting dollars in the first response email – rather something like "I'd be happy to provide rates, if you would like."
The difference? It causes them to engage and interact.

Do you follow this even for advertisers who contact you and are upfront about their intentions, or do you just give your prices immediately in that case? I'm still new to this side of things.

Great idea. This will probably save you a lot of hassle.

I believe debtconsolidationcare is part of CareOne.

Thanks everyone. I sent an email their way, offering them a sponsored post, but I didn't include a price on it.
