I disagree. How about when a blogger is flown across the country, or given gifts? The line for all of this is very very blurry. I'm a member of WOMMA. One of the main reasons I became a member is that I really believe that a "code" of ethics is important in this "wild wild west" mentality we're currently experiencing. I'm not a fan of Pay Per Post, but I AM a fan of ALL bloggers disclosing everything they receive in exchange for posting. This includes trial products, flights to headquarters, presents for their kids....Disclosure IS transparency, and its important. P.S. Love the blog!
