This reminds me of the highly-untargeted spam emails that I get all the time from people asking if they can write blog posts for me. Naturally, they would contain a lot of links to some other site. The idea has definitely been done before. Think PayPerPost, SponsoredReviews, etc. Sounds like an excellent way to get yourself deranked by Google.
Just created an account and ran into a bug almost immediately.<p>When I added my GA account it pulled all of the websites under one specific GA account, I'm assuming the one that has somehow been marked as the default. Within GA I have multiple accounts, but they're all under my one google apps account. I'm unable to see (and thus add) any website that's not grouped within this account.<p>For example, pretend within GA I have the following groupings:<p>Personal
Work
Customer 1
Customer 2<p>Each one of these 'sub accounts' within GA contains the websites I've associated with it. With TrafficGun, it only see's the websites under 'Personal' and not Work, Customer 1 or Customer 2.
What makes "3a. Cross-Promote" something other than a zero-sum game? Does it presume that most people have more time to devote to reading stuff online?
