Depending on what her site does, also offer her a custom module in the sidebar something like what the "find an agent" feature does for HT. Then teach Barbara how to submit her own stories - or better yet offer to write 5 a month and submit them for her. Now you have a co-sponsor for REV and you haven't messed with the integrity of the content or rules by which good content is surfaced in the community. At that point, hire someone in India to delete spam from the site (and write/research the odd article for Barbara) - that shouldn't cost much more than $100 to $200 per month - then give the rest to Kiva and sit back and relax.

It seemed like a very powerful CMS with active support through the Pligg forum. Are you sure there isn't a simple way to block the affiliate urls? Or filter for keywords?

With that kind of budget you'd think "barbara" could create decent content and get real links. Sounds suspicious. If it proves to be legit, and you do take the money, then take the money. You're an ad supported company, you're just finding which ads work. $2k/month to buy links? With that kind of budget you’d think “barbara” could create decent content and get real links.
