I figured it’d be about time for me to write a page like this.
The content of this page is valid as of 28 October 2007.
From time to time, I write entries that earn me a little money here and there, and I post them to this weblog.
While I currently go through third party organizations to get things of interest to post about, in exchange for compensation, I’m willing to negotiate a direct deal with others who’d like their product talked about.
There is a catch, however: I prefer to disclose my relationships with advertisers to those who read my weblog.
Thusly, you should see an explicit mention of the entry’s sponsor (ie: “… my sponsor, Pixelechoes Network…”) in the entry.
Since Goog handed down their PageRank bitchslaps, despite me picking up steadier traffic, I can promise no particular PageRank.
I do not use services such as Ontok’s highlighter, or similar products, and thus, you won’t have to compete with them on an entry written for you, the advertiser.
My readers have the option to see what my opinion is on certain products as I write them, but at the same time, I do hope that my readers will know that anything I’m writing about, I’m quite sincere in my writings. I don’t make up what I’m talking about. I share it with my local friends while offline. I share it with my coworkers. I share it with customers I talk with on a daily basis at work.
What does all of this mean?
For readers:
There are advertisement-type entries laying throughout this weblog. Though they are advertisements, they also are my own words and opinions on the items and services I refer to, as well as any facts that I have gleaned from them. These advertisements, as well as I can manage it, are marked with something noting that it is an entry that I have taken money for.
For advertisers:
I’m willing to work with you, and your product, as long as you’re willing to agree to a single small tag placed at the beginning of the entry.
I leverage the power of Word of Mouth, to talk about a product that strikes me as particularly good.
I’m quite willing to go in-depth on any subject that draws my attention, such as new software, fresh music that lacks Digital Rights Management, food in general, new gadgets.
If you have a new, physical object that you’d like me to spend some time with, and give a more in-depth write up about, feel free to contact me:
