Below is Full Disclosure for my blog content and applies to our social media properties including twitter.com/whatdragonwants & our YouTube channel.
Software and Product Reviews
This is a multi-author blog, all authors may receive products in the form of hardware or software in exchange for doing reviews or showcases of products. In some cases authors may be compensated for their time and effort to showcase/feature or review a product. This does not in any way influence our review of a product, all opinions are 100% authors and authors alone but we are not influenced to give a high star rating if a product doesn’t justify the rating. This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation in the form of banner ads, sponsored posts and sometimes promotions on social media as well. These are noted with #ad, or a disclaimer/disclosure statement and generally apply to sharing coupons/discounts. This blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.
Affiliate disclaimer
This blog leverages affiliate links for Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. I am also an affiliate for various other online marketplaces including but not limited to Walmart, LinkShare, ShareASale, CommissionJunction, ImpactRadius, Avangate and other online stores, these affiliate links for products are ways the site brings in revenue to help fund additional products to review and cover operational costs. It costs nothing extra to the reader from buying a product through our affiliate links and helps raise funds for the site to keep us going and providing reviews and entertainment for our fans. Software and products in many cases get sent to shoppingdragons.com to do thorough and accurate reviews, in these cases the product is often kept as compensation to help cover the cost/time involved in doing written and video reviews. The reviews of products are always 100% original opinion and never influenced based on any compensation received. Some articles and particularly those in the “Promotions” category may be compensated or sponsored posts, this means that shoppingdragons.com received cash or other compensation in exchange for a featured advertisement. Again these are not reviews, and are features or promotions giving 100% accurate information based from the product pages of most brands. This is another means of raising funds to cover operational costs and help fund giveaways for the fans and cover shipping costs for prizes in some cases.
