		<description>I agree about having to properly posting a sponsored.  I also believe it&#039;s a great idea for indie bloggers and Indie designers or small businesses to help each other out.  Of course reviews should also be honest and truthful.  I&#039;m a small business owner myself and I don&#039;t have the type of capital to advertise on big name magazines or websites.  I think it&#039;s great to network and work together with other small establishments.

		<description>I spend my working day selling but I do that as honestly as I can.  Aligning myself with companies and products that I believe in.  The wonderful thing about blogging is the absolute freedom to say what I like (or don&#039;t)  without any commercial constraints.  I&#039;m not sure if there IS a way of making money by blogging and when I started It wasn&#039;t my driving force.  I will try to continue to write with complete honesty and would love to find a way eventually to make money without losing the essential heart of the matter

		<description>I&#039;m a little surprised by this! It is very interesting. I&#039;ve always gone back and forth about this issue on my blog, myself...but stayed away from them to avoid an risk of damaging credibility with readers. But let&#039;s face it: A blogger&#039;s time is worth something, too!

		<description>Yes, Integrity is what it comes down to. There&#039;s nothing wrong with sponsored posts, if there is liable authenticity and honesty to what is posted.</description>

		<description>I  am not surprised with the results. I think it is OK to have sponsored posts, the important thing is that what you are sponsoring is an interesting product. I get a lot of sponsored proposals but they are products that have nothing to do with my readers, like do they actually read your blog before asking you to post the product ?
they should.
