Exactly. By not mentioning upfront you were talking about a product, it seemed like everything you wrote before your recommendation would be suspect. I know this isn't the case with you Steve, because I trust you.
However, I had that momentary negative reaction when I read the article, when I realized halfway down it was about a product you were trying to sell. It took me a few seconds to remind myself that I trusted you thus you weren't trying to rob me like thousands of other people online try.
I didn't have that reaction with your other articles where you were recommending products because it was clear from the other posts that you were indeed selling/talking about a product from the beginning.
So, please don't think it has anything to do with paying money, but simply having to do with expectations of what we're reading when we read your post. I'm totally ok with you making money recommending products - I actually love it when you recommend products because I trust you so I know it's good stuff. I've already bought stuff solely because you've recommended them, and I'm sure I'll do it again.
