The Federal Trade Commission requires that I disclose any relationship I have between a product manufacturer or service provider when I write about a product or service. Here are the guidelines I operate under at OutdoorDailySavings.com:

- If I create a link to a product in a review, sometimes I may get paid a commission if you purchase the product or service.
- If you click a link from one of my columns or newsletters and it delivers you to a website selling that product (e.g. Amazon.com, etc.), I get a small commission from that website should you buy.

These are good rules and practices in today's digital world. It's important for you as a consumer to understand the relationship between a person reviewing the product and the manufacturer or service provider. If you don't see a disclosure policy as part of a review of a product, that reviewer may be violating the law or at the very least the Code of Ethics.
