Disclosure Policy is a good concept because the readers will know what the particular blog is posting and where the blogger stands.
You can create your own Disclosure Policy here.
My Disclosure Policy
This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me.
This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation.
The compensation received will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog. All advertising is in the form of advertisements generated by a third party ad network. Those advertisements will be identified as paid advertisements.
The owner of this blog is compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. Even though the owner of this blog receives compensation for our posts or advertisements, 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.
Purpose
The purpose of this blog is to write about what interests me and by extension, what might interest readers. I do not limit myself to a narrow range of topics, instead choosing to write about subjects that inspire, vex, or interest me. The purpose of this blog is NOT: product sales, product development, career advancement, or other commercial ventures; however, there may be sponsored links posted occasionally and such sponsored links should not be construed as a violation of these principles. (See the Transparency section for an expanded explanation)
In areas where I am expressing my opinion, I will strive to be clear that it is opinion only. Similarly, where I am stating facts, I will strive to support those statements with documented evidence from reliable sources.
Privacy
Just as I expect for my anonymity to be respected by others, I respect the privacy of others. This means that I will not write about people or events in a way that would violate their privacy or reveal their identity. I will not publish email addresses or IP addresses. If a personal story is revealed on a public blog, I may choose to include reference to it in an entry here.
In addition to the specific principles outlined above, the Online Integrity Statement of Principles is incorporated and adopted by reference.
Transparency
My criteria for choosing sponsored posts to write are as follows:
1. Have I actually investigated the product, site, link, information personally? YES.
2. Would the product, site, link or information be of interest to people interested in this blog? YES.
3. Would I write this post even if I were not paid, and would I write it in the same voice and tone? YES.
4. Do I believe that readers and visitors might benefit in some way from what I’m writing about? MAYBE.
If I cannot answer all three of the first three questions in the affirmative, I will not link or post it on this blog.
