Advertisers/PR
Thanks for your interest in Nerd’s Eye View! I am genuinely flattered that you want to reach my readers and work with me.
My readers are smart, loyal, international, exceptionally good looking, and they want to buy your stuff.
I love writing reviews. If you’ve got gear, gadgets, books or other media you’d like reviewed – or you want me to check out your destination, please get in touch. I don’t love everything, but I truly enjoy the chance to check out new stuff. I’m both critical and grateful and I think my readers trust me.
Please note: I’m no longer reviewing websites that offer services, but if you’d like to hire me for usability input, get in touch. I’ve worked for more than 10 years on projects that require user experience expertise and I’d be happy to consult with you on how to make your site better for travelers.
I’m seeking advertisers and sponsors; contact me directly for more information. Here’s the “Thanks to our sponsors! page.
I don’t have a strict policy around advertising – yet – but there are a few things I observe.
- Ads are clearly ads. I don’t do inline text ads or disguise ads as something else. I don’t do pay per post or link exchanges either.
- I haven’t had to make this call, but you can be sure I’ll decline ads for sex tourism, weapons, tobaco, napalm, the far right, and anything else I find icky.
- I do accept freebies and comps from time to time. Comp offers are no guarantee of good reviews.
If you’ve got questions, want me to review a product or destination, need advice on buying your first ukulele, or just want to say hi, please drop me a line at pam (at) nerdseyeview (dot) com.
