I'm sure that anyone who owns a domain with a website is used to the sort of spam I get a lot, from people claiming to be able to tweak the SEO on magatsu.net to drive more traffic to the site, to people who want to partner with me for ads on this site.

Note, please, that https://www.magatsu.net leads you to a giant animated 404 page that eventually drops the link to my generator site and an email address. Which goes to show that they're not actually looking at the page, despite claiming to have extensively analyzed it.


My name is Megan and I’m a partner at Newor Media, a digital media company which both owns and operates websites and represents sites to premium advertisers.

I came across Magatsu.net this morning this morning and thought it was super impressive, and I wondered if you'd be interested in working with us on programmatic ads. Obviously banner ads are not a huge part of your current monetization strategy -- right now it doesn't look like the site is running programmatic ads at all, but given the amount of traffic the site gets, adding a banner or two per page could generate solid earnings.

We’re partnered with over a dozen premium networks and I know we can build a ton of advertiser demand for the site. I'd love to chat more about it if you're interested -- we'd be happy to work with you here, even on a trial.

Yes, my SUPER IMPRESSIVE 404 page. And I am technically running ads on the generator site: Amazon ads, which have given me exactly $0 in revenue (mostly because people who come to my site aren't looking for something to buy), and which I'll eventually take down when I get some time to do so. I could probably make a bit of money off of the sort of ads that pay me fractions of a cent per eyeball, but I'd then have to keep on top of it and report/take down inappropriate and offensive ads and that just sounds like work, so I doubt I'll go that way.

If I were more of an extrovert I'd reply back to see just was sort of ads they think would work to run on my giant 404 page.

I know it's a hassle; but LOL, I'd pay to see the response if you did reply back.
