Interesting Approaches to Sponsoring

...taken by Jeremy. What do you folks think?From his post:

When I asked if my linkblog should have comments, Jim responded that the new (as of today) sponsor box could have comments as well. I still remember when Kuro5hin began offering comments on their advertisers and it worked pretty well.

So here's your chance to comment on Performancing, this month's sponsor.

And, before anyone asks, yes this is new. They get an ad and a link--that's it. December 2005 is the first month that I've had a sponsor on my blog. I'm curious to see how it goes and would love your feedback.

It seems like an interesting tactic to get free-form feedback on the advertisers and a great way to find out if the ads are working for your readers. But what could it lead to? Ditching advertisers because some vocal commenters don't like them? Seems like asking for comments is only part of the initiative. What to do about them when they come - that seems to me like the crux of the issue.
