This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation.

The owner of this blog is compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. Even though the owner of this blog receives compensation for our posts or advertisements, we always give our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products.

No one has given me anything exciting like an Ultimate Gaming PC to test or a trip to Hawaii to get my opinion of the black beaches. I am open to such offers should they ever present themselves, but my opinions and views will remain my own.
John Chow’s Disclosure Policy is brilliant, and in my dreams mine are the same-
To comply with the recent FTC ruling (not that I have to since this blog is not based in the USA) over bloggers getting paid to write stuff, I offer the following disclosure policy. If you’re reading my blog, you should assume the following:
* I make money from every post I put on this blog. If I’m not making money from every blog post, then it was an oversight on my part and it will be corrected soon.
* Every link on this blog is a paid link. If it is not a paid link, then it was an oversight on my part and it will become a paid link soon.
* Every product I write about on this blog, I get for free. If I didn’t get it for free, then there was a miss-communication with the company that sent it and I will be billing them for the cost so the product becomes free.
* I make money from every tweet I send out on Twitter. If I didn’t make money on the tweet, then it was an oversight on my part and it will be corrected soon.
* If you email me, all of the information in your email is mine to do with as I please, such as exploit for financial profit, use as blackmail, or quote on my blog.
* The T-shirts you see me wear at trade shows. I get paid to wear them. If I didn’t get paid to wear them, then it means I ran out of paid shirts and had to wear a free one. In which case, I will go to the company that gave me the free shirt and ask them to sponsor it.
* If something on the Net is making a lot of money, you can bet I will be in on it. If I’m not in on it, then it was an oversight on my part and it will be corrected soon.
* Just because I get paid to blog, tweet, wear T-shirts, etc. does NOT mean I will give you or your company a positive review, blog post or endorsement. As a matter of fact, chances are pretty high that I might slam you.
Hopefully, the above statement clears up any misunderstanding you may have about my blog posts or Twitter tweets. If you have any questions, you can contact me at my contact page. Just remember what I said about emails.
A Cowboy’s Wife Disclosure Policyis good as well, it is in part as follows:
Affiliate links are occasionally used here at A Cowboy’s Wife, providing me compensation should someone make a purchase through that link. They do not sway my opinions or beliefs in no manner. I do not participate in sponsored tweets but sometimes may tweet a link as part of a promotion or campaign or to a product I love. This also applies to facebook. All products and campaigns I partake in are genuinely loved by me and my family, otherwise, I wouldn’t do them.
As the owner of this blog, I am sometimes given products, cash, gift cards, services, & trips but will always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own. I have always believed in Authenticity and will remain to be authentic until my dying day. My reputation is everything and no amount of money or products will change that. Please know, that I will NEVER lie to you or deceive you in any way. Authentic, Genuine, and Trustworthy are 3 words that describe me and my blogging ethics.
