Starting December 1, 2009, the new FTC endorsement guide states that bloggers must disclose payments.

The most common ways I get paid on this site include, but not limited to:

* When a visitor clicks on a link in an article, a feed, or an ad anywhere on the site.
* When I write a review for a product or service.

As a result, please assume that anything I do may potentially be biased.

That’s the formal verbiage BUT…almost never will you see a review for a product or service here, and should you happen to click on any of the above mentioned, my compensation will most likely buy me half of a cigarette or possibly the froth off the top of a warm beer.
