		<description>I just started my blog recently, so I am rather new to the promotion/product review aspect of blogging.  I actually just did my first product review today.  I have a self-governed policy to not product-push on my readers, but when given the chance to review a product that is of interest to me, and possibly to my readers, I see no harm in posting a blog about my opinion of the product.

I do love giveaways on blogs (though I have yet to win one).  I don&#039;t, however, like blogs that try to sell you on a product - I&#039;m probably not going to subscribe to any blogs that product-push on a regular basis.  But that said, an honest review of a product is always welcome - unless that&#039;s the entire content of a blog.  In that case, I probably won&#039;t stick around too long - just bookmark it for future reference.

Thanks for this post - it helps me to have a better grasp on how product reviews and giveaways work for once I get my blogging feet firmly planted!</description>

		<description>Thanks for this post. It is very timely. I just recently started receiving those emails.  I have received a couple of item and recently posted my first review. I just received an email about another product that is being sent my way. So, thank you, thank you.  I needed to read this.</description>

		<description>I would not read a blog that only promoted products as that would be like watching only commercials all day. However, I don&#039;t mind an occasional review of a product as it&#039;s nice to know what someone really thinks about it.

I don&#039;t have ads on my blog, and have never been contacted to promote a product.  However, I was contacted to do a giveaway.

I have entered and won giveaways, but I don&#039;t enter them very often.</description>

		<description>As I created my blog to be a reminder of the blessing in my life and a way to share information with others, advertising is does not fit into the purpose of my blog.  I choose not to promote products on my blog as a form of advertising.  However, if there is a product or service that I believe in or think that it will help people to live a frugal life, I will post about it - but it won&#039;t be an ad (as in the company will have no knowledge that I am writing about their product and I will not receive any form of compensation for doing so).

I have stopped reading blogs that heavily promote products.  My time is limited, and I don&#039;t want to spend it reading ads for products.

I enjoy a give-away, but don&#039;t go searching them out.  I would love to do a give-away on my blog, but again, not in order to be compensated, but to share with others. (Okay, that makes it a bit of a gray area, doesn&#039;t it?)  But, I don&#039;t plan on giving-away items to promote a company or a product.  I would only do so to share an item.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve also added a disclosure policy since Blissdom. :)
Those emails are just starting to come to my inbox.
As far as content- I try to post something else on the same day I post a review.</description>
