For Advertisers

Google Adsense is the only ad provider I use. I don’t sell individual ad placements. I don’t sell text-link ads. I don’t publish sponsored content posts.

For Readers – Updated June 2013

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 consider the advertisements I display to be a reflection of my reputation. I have turned down ads that do not reflect the attitude of this blog. However, no advertisement seen on this site shall be considered an endorsement of the product(s) and/or service(s) advertised unless explicitly stated. If you see a questionable ad on this site, please report it here.

If I review a product, I will disclose if I have accepted a complimentary sample of the product from an advertiser or if I have been compensated to review the product. I believe transparency is essential to earn and keep my readers’ trust and respect.

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 October 2010

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. I will give my honest and complete opinion. I will not leave out negative comments I have about a product.
5. Receipt of a product does not guarantee that I will review it, though I will make my best effort to do so.
6. 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.
