Disclosure

This policy is valid from 27 February 2011.

This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me (Brian Tubbs). This blog may accept forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation. The principal means of compensation, as of February 2011, has been (and continues to be) Adsense earnings and affiliate commissions, primarily through Amazon.com.

This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. We believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity. The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. That content, advertising space or post will be clearly identified as paid or sponsored content. However, not all articles containing Amazon links will remind readers that the links represent affiliate links. If readers do not want me (Brian Tubbs) to receive compensation from any online purchases they make, they should not click on any affiliate links or Adsense links.

Even though the owner(s) of this blog receives compensation for our posts or advertisements (primarily through Adsense and/or Amazon), I always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the bloggers' own. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question. This blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.
