Advertising and Review Disclosures

Advertising:

We offer both graphic and text ads, which are clickable links that direct our users to another website. We only accept ads for products and services that we believe will be interesting to our users. Publishing an ad for a product or service does not imply we endorse it – or even mean we’ve tried it personally. We are compensated in one of two ways for ad space: either we receive a flat monthly fee, or we’ve entered into an affiliate arrangement with the advertiser and we receive a percentage of sales generated from the ad.

We also offer graphic ad space on our Winnebago for a flat monthly fee. Think NASCAR, only slower and without the pit crew.

Product/Service Reviews:

Sometimes we accept products or services for free or at a discounted price. From travel gear to hotel nights – our reviews are limited to products or services we’ve actually tried ourselves. Of course, we will disclose exactly what we received and from whom, as well as any relationship that exists between us and the provider. Also, we don’t write negative reviews – there’s enough negativity out there without us adding to it – so our acceptance of a free or discounted product or service does not guarantee we’ll cover it on the blog.

We give our honest opinion – discussing both the positives aspects and any areas that could use improvement. We do not accept compensation in exchange for writing a review of a product or service, and receiving something free of charge will not influence our opinion of it. Prior to publishing the post, we may invite the company to offer a giveaway for our readers in conjunction with the review. The company’s decision of whether or not to offer a giveaway does not have an impact on our review, nor on whether the post will be published. We do not return products after trying them – we generally give them away on the blog or donate them to an animal shelter or rescue.

Sponsored Posts:

We offer a limited number of sponsored posts, which we publish for a flat fee. These posts are written by others and may highlight products or services that we have not tried ourselves. Publishing a sponsored post does not imply we endorse the product, service, or company. We will clearly identify a sponsored posts in the title and the introduction. These posts must adhere to our guest posting guidelines and provide quality content that is helpful to our readers.
