In Short
I understand that sometimes it’s hard to absorb a huge wall of text. With that in mind here’s the quick lowdown…
Basically, I need to keep the lights on, I have bills to pay like everyone. There will be ads and affiliate links throughout this site that I will receive remuneration from. I will not let this sway my opinions and all recommendations or product placement/promotion will be because I believe in that product and have personal experience of it.
I am a web user too and as such know how annoying ads can be. I will only use them where I feel appropriate and keep them as unobtrusive as possible. You are likely to only see text links and maybe the odd subtle banner that may be relevant to that post’s particular topic. I will never use pop-ups if you ever see one on any of my sites please get in touch as it means something is wrong.
If you want to see the things that you might see promoted I provide a full list on my Resources Page.
…that said I still recommend that you read the complete ‘official’ version below.
Numptys Full Disclosure
For the purpose of complete transparency and full disclosure, we provide this disclosure statement regarding this site and any potential monetary reward that may be gained from the contents and links…
Although this site is primarily my personal blog it is still part of the Web Smith group of web properties. Although it is mainly run by a single individual (Numpty Nuts a.k.a. Me) I may from time to time include content provided by third parties or individuals other than myself.
From time to time, we will promote, endorse, or suggest products and/or services for sale that are not our own. Recommendations are ALWAYS based on our personal experience and belief that the product and its producer and provider will provide excellent and valuable performance, information, or service. This may be based on a review of that product, our personal or professional relationship with that person or company, and/or a previous positive experience with the person or company whose product we are recommending. In most cases, we will be compensated via a commission if you decide to purchase that product based on our recommendation. In some cases, we will receive the product for free for review purposes, or just to use. In some cases, we have used that product to our personal satisfaction in our own business.
This site accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions, affiliate payments, or other forms of compensation.
The compensation received will never influence the content, topics or posts made on this site. Advertising on this site may be in the form of advertisements generated by a third-party ad network or those created by ourselves. All advertisements will be identified as paid advertisements.
The owner of this site is also compensated to provide opinions on products, services, websites, and various other topics. Even though the owner of this site receives compensation for such posts or advertisements, we always give our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. The views and opinions expressed on this site are purely the author’s own. Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider, or party in question.
This site does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.
IMPORTANT: Always Always ALWAYS do your OWN due diligence before making any purchases, whether I recommend them or not. Never, EVER purchase anything that you cannot afford. Avoid purchasing products that do not have a clearly stated Money Back Guarantee, or that promise ridiculous results, like “Getting Rich Quick”. Most people don’t do anything with the products they buy, and most of the time, their results are zero – kind of like that exercise bike that I bought that is now serving as a clothing rack… No, there is no such thing as a “Free Lunch”. Never purchase anything that you cannot afford. Don’t do drugs, stay in school, etc. Be safe out there!
