The Frugal Flamingo

As of October 2010, Federal Trade Commission requires all bloggers to disclose any forms of payment they may receive.

So now that the legal mumble jumble is over, lets get to the real stuff.  I will be completely honest.  I blog for you.  Yea, you. The reader.  That is and always will be my primary focus.  Promise.  Now that we have that clear, I’ll share with you about some of the other stuff we have to get out of the way.

• From time to time I have opportunities to partner with companies.  I will only partner with a company if I think it will be beneficial to you.  I also must wholeheartedly believe in them. 
• I will only give my honest opinion.  It may not be your opinion, but it will be mine.
• I’m very selective and particular about my recommendations. I will only recommend products and services that have a high impact value to you.  I will also only recommend products and services that I have personally used.
• I may share affiliate links.  Affiliate links will provide me with a small compensation when you click through or purchase something.  For example, printing a coupon I recommend.  Or perhaps buying a favorite book on Amazon.  Don’t panic though.  I promise you I would recommend it with or without compensation. 
• I may have ads or affiliate links on my sidebar.  However, don’t click on them unless they are interesting to you. 
• I may be compensated for advertisement space.
• I may be compensated to write on a specific topic or service or in the form of free product.  However,  I will be upfront with you and you will know all about it.  I will be very clear that it is compensated or sponsored content whenever possible.
• This blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.

By reading this blog, you acknowledge that you are doing so of your own free will and you are taking and following the information provided at your own risk.

I am not responsible for the actions of my advertisers, sponsors or blog commenters. If you purchase a product through a link from my blog, you must take action with that company to resolve any issues, not this blog.

The Frugal Flamingo is written and edited by me and only me.  For questions about this blog, contact me at frugalflamingo@gmail.com .  All written material and photos are mine and may not be published, copied or reprinted without my written consent.
