For Readers

Making money is not my passion, but I don't mind making money off of my passion.

All advertisements on this site are clearly marked. I do not write posts for pay. Occasionally I may accept a free product sample from an advertiser and review it on the site, but these entries will be clearly marked. When I do accept free products, I usually do a giveaway so I'm not the only one benefiting. I consider the advertisements I allow on the site to be a reflection of my reputation. I have turned down ads that I feel do not reflect the attitude of this site. However, no advertisement seen on this site shall be considered an endorsement of the product(s) and/or service(s) advertised.

Affiliate links (such as to Amazon products) do not imply a positive endorsement or review of the product unless explicitly stated. If I mention a product in an entry that is available for sale on Amazon.com, I typically link to it, but I never mention a product in an entry solely to include an Amazon link.

Official Review Policy - Updated December 18, 2008

1. I will only review products which I might consider purchasing or that I believe my readers would find valuable.
2. I will at maximum do two reviews a month, but am not obligated to do any in that timeframe.
3. I will disclose any payments or exchanges that occurred, including whether I received the product for free. I will also disclose any other partnerships with a company whose product I am reviewing, such as past sponsorships or past exchanges.
4. The full text of the review will not appear on the front page. Only the title will appear with a link to read the entire entry. Uninterested readers will be able to easily ignore these entries. People who read via RSS will see the full review. The review will clearly be marked as a review.
5. I will give my honest and complete opinion. I will not leave out negative comments I have about a product.
6. Receipt of a product does not guarantee that I will review it, though I will make my best effort to do so.
7. If you sent me a product to review, I will send you a link to the review post when it goes live on the site.
