Its not foolproof, but it goes a long way in helping you down the right path.

On my blog, there is a group of people that I regularly link to. These are people whose advice has gotten me to where I am now. Would they all be shining examples of ethics in business? No.

I think its fine for a blogger to use their position to help promote and launch their own products and services. However, they do so at their own peril. Even when the product or service really is top notch, the mere association raises flags of skepticism to readers.
