#1 If you’re trying to satisfy your readers, viewers, etc., then be honest with them. Say, “Hey everyone! This is a sponsored review.” If they want to see it, they can. If they want to skip it, they can. Don’t try to sneak it in. People are smart enough to recognize such methods, and they don’t take kindly to being treated like idiots.

#2 Don’t let your blog post be 90% sponsored reviews. That’s like running an informercial. Who on earth would Tivo an informercial? But let’s say you have a television show, and during that show you have 90% good content and 10% “and now a word about our sponsor’s products.” People are very willing to Tivo that show as long as they are confident that they will get 90% real content.

#3 If your blog isn’t a professional blog, and you don’t actually care what your readers think (such as if you’re writing in an online diary), then feel free to post whatever you want, however you want. Just make sure that you are sticking to your own sense of integrity, so you don’t end up feeling like a sell-out.

Happy day!
