40% of profits or revenue? Also who will be paying for the ad campaign?

If someone gave me me money to buy keywords, and gave me 40% of sales - I would think the guy is too stupid to be in business.

Yeah and if you cant handle it dude... I can!

DOS TIP - $2 a day on google isnt going to do jack shit.

That's why I'm here asking for input. What sounds like a more reasonable deal? I got the 40% figure from my buddy who operates a site that his parents own. They do about $70k a month sales. This site that I'm talking about running is sitting idle, and I'll be responsible to grow it from the ground up.

I want the company to cover all the traffic expenses, graphic / design expenses, scripts and hosting, etc.

What are you getting 40% for?
You still didnt answer my questions.

Handling everything needed to move product. Traffic generation, adding / maintaining the product database, SEO, content production, writing blog articles, etc.

The owner won't touch a thing. I'll be responsible for everything. I just want him to pay for the nuts and bolts.

Mike, come on... 40% of profit obviously. If he gave me 40% of revenue he wouldn't have any profit for himself. Honestly I think I'm giving him more than a fair deal.
