I disclose
Some of you might have noticed that there is an Adsense PSA on my blog. After a lot of thought, I decided why not sign up? I could certainly use a few extra dollars. The ads are supposed to be relevant to the content of my journal, and I have the right to cancel at any time. I've blogged before about how I signed up with ReviewMe.com to do paid reviews, and today, I just signed up with Pay-Per-Post. My registration with Adsense and Pay-Per-Post are still under review.
As long as I can maintain my own opinions and integrity and feel no pressure to sell something I couldn't honestly recommend, I feel basically okay about this as a way to get a little extra spending money. After all, I do have a cappucino habit to support.
I left the AOL journal community because large banner advertising was placed without notice or requested permission on the top of journals by paying subscribers. This was after having the subscriber journals promoted as an ad free space as a benefit of AOL membership for over a year. Bloggers had no control over what their words and ideas were helping promote and there were times when I found my blog advertising products, companies and services I didn't like. I think it took about 24 hours for that to happen and for me to leave AOL journals.
However, I want to make it very clear that with Adsense, pay-per-post and ReviewMe that I am accepting money for advertising. I will not try to deceive people in any way that paid advertising is anything but that, and I have created a disclosure policy about receiving compensation and link to Disclosurepolicy.org in my sidebar.
In a blog, we are nothing but our word, and that means something to me. I try to exercise care with my words and especially with my recommendations. This post is NOT paid advertising. It is not required by any of the third party groups with whom I have registered. I just feel it's important to make things clear.
