Blog disclosure:

I wonder if the blogworld benefits if bloggers are crystal clear about their goals and influences?

[Via Seth's Blog]

On my blog…here’s the disclosure:

I don’t have any sponsorships or any direct advertisers.  As a result I don’t care what anyone thinks about what I think.  I spout off about whatever I want, and you read it or don’t.

I have Google Adsense ads at top.  They are loosely based on my content.  I don’t know what’s in them in terms of products.  I do not endorse anything nor recommend anything in those ads unless I explicitly say so.  I just hope you click on them so I can make 3 cents.

Sometimes I will talk about a product, usually a book, that I really like.  Often, when I link it, I will use my Amazon associates ID.  This is in the vain hope that you will buy this book based on my recommendation, and I can make 3 cents.  I could really use the 3 cents.

Sometimes I will talk about a product I really like.  Such as BlogJet.  When I do, I am not being paid to do so.  I say what I like or don’t like, so that maybe you can have some more information to make your own decisions.  If I am getting paid, I will tell you.

Oh…and this disclaimer is my own, and I did not steal it like some people…
