This policy is valid from 15 July 2010 and applies only to Debra's List.
This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. For questions about this blog, please contact me, Debra Lynn Dadd, at

This blog does not accept any form of cash advertising, sponsorship, or paid topic insertions. However, I do accept payment from businesses for "premium listings." This is accepted only from businesses who meet
my criteria for Debra's List and allows the business to call more attention to their listing by adding their logo. I also allow these businesses to participate in influencing the content of their listing, but only by telling me what is most important to them to emphasize about their business. In the end, all listings are written by me at my own discretion. These premium listings can be clearly identified by their logos or other graphic on their listing.
I also accept payment for classified advertising in my weekly newsletter from some of the businesses listed on Debra's List. These are not indicated on the listing because the classified ads are temporary from week to week.
I do accept and keep free sample products from businesses who wish me to know more about their products. However, accepting these products does not influence my decision to include the business on Debra's List by virtue of being a gift. They do influence my decision in the realm of inspecting the product in order to qualify for my stated criteria.
This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. I believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity. I do not accept paid or sponsored content.
As the owner of this blog, I am not being compensated by any individual or business to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own. I only list wesbites that sell products or services that I believe, based on my expertise, are worthy of my endorsement. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.
I do receive monetary commissions from some of the websites listed on this blog via affiliate programs or other similar agreements. These businesses are always identified with my dollar sign icon.
It is my personal opinion that honesty is best measured and trust built by the integrity of recommendations. I make my choices for recommendations based on stated criteria, not compensation. I accept compensation in limited forms in order to cover the expenses of doing business. However, I wish to state that this compensation happens after I choose to recommend a business and not before. Were I to choose to recommend a business based on compensation and not criteria, my recommendations would be worthless.
This is true.
