  If I get sent products from a company to try out or to review (I would obviously give my honest opinion and not review products that I didn’t actually like or would buy myself), would I be able to post this content on my blog or is that prohibited?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sponsored content is banned here. If you ONLY review products you are going to give positive reviews to, then clearly your reviews are not unbiased; they are sponsored. If you want to be a real review blog, then you must say what you don’t like as well as what you DO like.

  Technically, sponsored contents are banned. However, in reality, the content of your blog is totally within your discretion.

  No. Do not risk that.

  @raincoaster has the right idea. We will suspend blogs that have sponsored posts. Reviews are fine, but being compensated to write a post is different.

  @xomiaelise — I’m going to reach out to you directly by e-mail (the one listed on your account). Please keep an eye out for it.

  Thanks!
