I liked it. "I will blatantly flag these posts as being paid for" is a very good practice. And there's no harm or anything to be ashamed by to blog for money. Almost all the so-called A-lister do this. They have the right, so you do too! - directeur from NoiseRiver

Disclosure makes it good for ,me. I never had any problem reading a magazine or newspaper where writers were being paid. - Mark Forman

No-one minds paying for value. Provided the posts deliver sustained value, non-intrusive advertising is fine. - Craig Thomler

If I review something I don't like, I will probably just say so if it will still get me paid. If not, I won't bother posting about it unless that post would still be useful to the community. I guess I will lose pagerank if people decide not to link to me because I get paid a few bucks for some of my posts? Oh well :) - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
