Blogging Ethics
I think it’s important for you, the reader, to understand how Evan and I handle some of the ethical issues surrounding blogging about different products, companies, and websites.
First of all, we don’t accept payment for blogging about anything, except the payment that we get as 451 Press bloggers. This keeps us honest, and adds a little integrity to our blog. If someone asks us to review something, then we’ll look at it, but we make no promises that it will end up in the blog.
As for products, we accept what a company sends us, but will either give it away or keep it to use ourselves. We don’t profit from anything that’s sent to us. Heck, if we start getting enough products, we’d be more than glad to host a little bit of a contest on the blog to give away to a lucky reader.
We have been offered a lot of these things. A lot of this might seem obvious, but you’d be surprised at what a lot of bloggers will accept. To keep the standards of professional blogging right where you want them, try asking your favorite bloggers about what they have to say about the ethics of blogging.
