You are invited to join the new community of the high quality business and
financial bloggers from Forbes.com. Our community - the Business and Financial
Blog Network, will launch in January 2008.Your blog will be promoted to our roster of blue-chip advertisers and we will
only run campaigns that are appropriate for your audience.You will receive 40% of all net revenues collected by Forbes.com (after agency
commitments, ad serving fees and external network support).Forbes.com will provide you with a Business and Financial Blog Network badge
to denote membership.
Has anybody else heard much more? Apparently CPM’s will be $10 - $20 at launch.

Patrick, It is good to know i gave you a nice referral from http://www.crenk.com. It seems as though my site is getting a name for itself. Does this mean you will be joining the Forbes network.

I was invited, still not sure if it’s worth it. They want your two most valuable ad spaces and in return they will add you to their “Best of Blogs” list.

Add you to their “Best of blogs list”? Probably on a PR0 page, with a dynamic link, and several hundred other associates. So likely to be worthless in SEO terms and even potential traffic

Patrick,
Have you worked any more on this and whats the outcome? It looks like a great program but not sure if any advertisers are really going to be paying those rates.
Cheers,
