Advertisement, Affiliation & Sponsorship Policy
Advertisements
Handmade Reviews hosts rich media advertisements from Glam Media and Google Adsense, reliable ad networks that we trust. Regardless, advertisements hosted by these network ads do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the blog or author. Although we do not have full control over ads displayed, we regularly monitor ads for safety and policy compliance.
Affiliations
We selectively affiliate ourselves with brands and websites that we find are relevant to our content. For example, we are affiliated with Sigma Beauty, a brand we wholeheartedly endorse for its relevance and for its value to our readership. All affiliate links are clearly labeled as such.
Sponsorships
Sponsored posts are clearly marked and filed under the Sponsored label. These posts do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the blog or author. That said, all sponsored posts selected for publication are chosen for their value and relevance to Handmade Reviews. Irrelevant sponsorship requests will not be considered.
Review & Disclosure Policy
Handmade Reviews will occasionally accept PR samples for testing or reviewing consideration. We never accept compensation in exchange for positive reviews. Our priority is to our readers and we refuse to compromise that reputation for anything. We maintain honest reviews that are unswayed by any affiliation. A clear disclaimer is posted whenever we mention a product sent to us for testing or reviewing purposes. Posts that are unaccompanied by a disclosure statement can be assumed to be free of PR products. We choose to abide by FTC disclosure guidelines and encourage companies we work with to do so as well.
