Congrats on pulling bronze for the blogging award! This is my first time checking out your site (i’m a newbie), and it’s pretty tight.
I only hope to be one of those top 10 referring blogs in the near future. A guy’s gotta start somewhere, right? Congrats again.
What is with the reverse funnel stuff?
“I would like to remind everyone that I do not necessarily endorse the product(s) offered by the advertisers.”
I think I know where you are going. I understand you wanting to monitize your blog, but this particular nod to a scam site is a bit obnoxious.

I haven’t the time or desire to investigate the “reverse funnel stuff” in detail. I know that it’s topical, i.e. finance-related. In general, I don’t vet advertisers. I believe that my readers understand what financial choices are good and bad for them. I would even take it a step further and say that it would hypocritical of me to write about saving money and making money and then passing up advertising because I don’t understand it enough.
Lazy, nice way to look at it. selling ads is selling ads, not endorsing products.
