I don't think I know the proper way to ask for something for nothing. I don't think companies would be real interested in me and my blog. I'm all over the map with my topics. I did want to sing the praises of the Swiffer Wet Jet and asked them to give me one for free so I could give it away as a prize, but no response. I still may write about how much I love the product. The FTC shouldn't care because I don't generally do reviews on my blog. BUT, I'm curious how if they thought I was paid how I could prove I wasn't. I can’t get anyone to give me stuff.

Heck, I haven't even done a review post yet where anybody gave me anything. I actually think the FTC is being quite reasonable about the whole thing. I'm annoyed by non-disclosure on blogs because it makes it diffucult to find trustworthy advice. Of course, on the same note, most bloggers aren't around to scam people. I don't know, it's a sticky issue. I'll shut up now :-) It honestly sounds like most of us are perfectly safe. Heck, I haven’t even done a review post yet where anybody gave me anything.

(Or who write search engine comparisons). If I write about how I love Pepsi, and a Pepsi ad then shows up, how does that fit in?
