We thought it would be a better Idea to be upfront and honest with our readers about our decision, so they did have a chance to "skip the article". Our misguided judgment somehow brought us to believe that people may care if they weren't informed as I would if I suspected I was being duped. We will surely keep your advice in mind the next time we decide to do a sponsored article. Once again, We are sorry we have lost your readership and hope you re-consider your decision in the future.

I see you're behind handybackup too http://www.handybackup.com/handybackup.xml And there's also handybackup.net that's from a different company, so that's a little confusing.

My friends do not turn away from me, if I have made something not absolutely correct. The same applies to any blog. Moreover, I don't consider paid reviews as something bad at all. The full disclosure is a must, of course. Are you leaving all websites with Google Adsense? I strongly believe that paid reviews being disclosed are much more fair type of advertising than many more other forms. You probably would be surprised how many your favorite movies are filled with product placement. And nobody cares because they are just not informed. As for Geoff, he charged us for a nominal fee to cover his bandwidth costs only. Chris,

Thu, 15 Mar 2007 16:41:35 +0000 http://www.gearfire.net/review-of-backup-platinum-awsome-backup-utility/#comment-90 I am sorry that you feel that way Chris. Unfortunately though, unobtrusive ad sense ads do not cover the monthly hosting. That is why 1-2 paid reviews per month are required to keep afloat. I myself am not too fond of paid reviews, and I promised myself only to review things that I thought were of a high caliber, and worthwhile of my reader's time.

I'm glad you found another revenue stream, but when I see the words "Paid Review" I not only skip the article, but I unsubscribe from the RSS feed. (With great disappointment, this time.)
