Being a reader there and an active forum poster, I know that Dan will always post the best deals whether it has an affiliate link or not. As it is his full time job, I and other readers feel perfectly fine clicking on his amazon links for deals that would have been posted anyways. You should know that most of the deals come from the forums so whatever is brought up on the site isn’t just posted to milk the readers.

Dan is also open about affiliate links for credit cards which he openly states that he would appreciate the support if you feel that he has helped you.

I personally find many of his credit card posts to be very informative and very well written. He does have posts written to get the affiliate $, but he tries his best to make his post as balanced and informative as possible. He will tell you all the bad things too. He was a blogger years before the affiliate links were around; the fact that they are around now just means that he can continue without finding himself a different job.

Also, he clearly marks his paid posts with a disclosure on top “Please note: This is a paid advertisement which is stickied as the top post, please scroll down for new posts.”

Overall, after getting to know him a bit, I think he is a good knowledgeable guy that would like his business to be helping people get the best deals.

For entertainment & possible content for my own blog:-)

What?

That’s just great!

There is so much of that going on in the internet. No goodness of heart, it’s paying da bills:-) Thank God, for me at least, my other job pays the bills just fine…Just need to get this baby down in such a way that it does not take so much of my time. I am working on it…

I am the last person to ask these questions bluecat! I have not taken the time to look into this murky area much at all as I am too busy trying to keep up with everything in my life AND try to produce a quality blog product here! If I was in it for the dough I would have focused on that solely you know;-)

I think certainly some are affiliate links and some are not at dansdeals. Some really tend to be pretty good deals, regardless of the commission paid! Of course this way PALES to comparison with a credit card app score!

Dan reads me here and sometimes he comments providing clarification. Dan?

Lol, good one:-)

I love this Bali Hotels guy. He seems to love everything.

LOL. Couldn’t agree more!
