I won't link to a site that uses adsense in a *spammy* way (two squares of ads before getting to the content, or skyscrapers on both sides and some Kontera program... come on, that's too much), otherwise, it may penalizes the site a bit in my evaluation, but not drastically. Of course, pop ups are out of the question, or heavily promotional text for some affiliate program. But if I receive a request by email that doesn't seem automatically generated and the person makes a good case by showing why my users might be interested, which means that person is actually familiar with my site, I'll have a look. It will probably go in my pending folder and I might actually provide the link only a few months later when things are slow, but he'll get his chance eventually. I find myself in that person's place when I start something new :)
