I pretty much put a disclosure statement on my newer blogs and am updating older ones anyway. I get quite a few positive surfer comments about the trasparency and it seems to have helped sales somewhat.

My statement varies, but it is something to the effect that we use affiliate commissions to offset costs but recommend only quality sites regardless as almost all sites offer affiliate proggies. I get about 1 positive comment each week per blog that I have this statement on.
