Love your post, such a touchy subject. I think all bloggers should say if the article is sponsored in some ways. I see a lot of bloggers start their sentence as ' i was sent this lovely product by X' do you think that is enough?

I think there needs to be a fine line drawn where its clear its sponsored. On the other hand, i think it will tarnish how blogs are perceived. Last year i had a lot of sponsored posts, but this year ive barely had any and i think the game is getting a lot tougher, so i think its only fair to claim the post as sponsored.

Brands that tell you not to mention the sponsor should be named and shamed because its wrong and unacceptable.

When i read blogs, i notice a lot sell the items off after a while (as brand new) and it does make me second guess of their intentions.. if they never used it, how can they recommend something? I think if you're going to be the type of blogger who wants to use their platform for income, they need to understand that they should be truthful to their loyal readers.
