Advertising Policy
From Eating Asturias, the Encyclopedia of Asturian Gastronomy
Advertising on blogs is a thing that exists. Underhanded advertising practices on blogs are also a thing that exists. Some attempts have been made to rein in these underhanded types of advertisements:
- The Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP) say that bloggers should, ‘state explicitly if they have been paid to write content on behalf of an advertiser.’
- The FTC has very strict rules on disclosing what you receive from brands, sponsors or advertisers in the form of cash or any other type of compensation.
Let me go further and state that Eating Asturias does not accept any kind of remunerated advertisements:
- There are no paid for advertisements here.
- Likewise there are no sponsored posts.
- There are also no pay-to-play reviews or paid mentions anywhere on this site.
If I mention a product or company here, it is because I personally recommend it. I do so without prior compensation or consideration of any kind.
If, in the future, there are ads for any product other than my own, I will make it very obvious. I will limit them solely to display advertisements shown in obvious and conventional ways. You will never confuse them with editorial content.
