I’ve never made it a secret that I write sponsored posts for PayPerPost, but it was never necessary to disclose on an individual post basis that I was doing so. Things are changing and as of Monday, PayPerPost writers must either disclose that they have written sponsored blog ads within each post or by displaying a policy that explains some of their posts have been paid for by advertisers.

I have no problem with this whatsoever. Like I said, I don’t hide that I do it, and it doesn’t bother me to state when a post is sponsored. I make sure I pick sponsors that I’m okay with and I don’t write for someone I am negative about if they insist on positive posts. I won’t write up services that help create more spam, for instance. But I will write about calendars, ways to save money, and telescopes because those are all things I can get on board with.

I think it could be an interesting new dynamic to disclose each time.

This has been a sponsored post.
