Hi Jonathan... Are you referring to ad placement, or marketing tactics
in general, when you refer to media sales? If it's ad placement, then
there's usually a business agreement in place that carefully governs
its appearance throughout the site, in return for revenue. Of course,
test placement can be a part of that agreement, but expect your ad
sales folks to express concern ;)
