Informal Disclosure Policy About Advertising & Affiliate Relationships

What does all that legal mumbo jumbo stuff above mean?  Well, in other words, it means this website contains endorsements for products and services. It means that when you click on a link that I recommend, the owners of the site may receive a commission.  Not every link is an affiliate link (one we get paid for) or advertisement, but some are. Some products will be our own. 🙂

We may occasionally place banner ads on the site that will also result in commission. Furthermore, some of the text/image ads throughout the site are generated by a third party ad network like Google AdSense.  These are not explicitly endorsed by us; they are chosen by via an algorithm (and, hopefully they are relevant to the page material!).  ?

If you have any questions about the bloggers’ affiliation with a certain product or ad, feel free to contact the author of the post in question for additional details.
