Trick falls asked about disclosure in a blog, and making readers feel like they have been 'advertised to' when they are reading. This forced me to take a good hard look at my blogs. I knew that I had disclosure. But, I never really thought about how I do it.
First, there are organizations that help bloggers with disclosure and ethical problems. There are several companies like womma that help bloggers learn how to use full disclosure and ethical blogging.
There are also disclosure badges from PPP and other places that let people know a post has been sponsored. I also use a comment such as:
This post is my thoughts and my message for the day. I thank XXX company for sponsoring it and allowing me to continue bringing this information to you free
Pay Per Post is one of the most ethical, and profitable, paid posting sites.
If you would like to make some money by writing a review for my blog, and let the world know about the information I give away free, then please click the red bar above. PPP will pay you to review my site.
Other sites are blogitive, Reviewme, blogsvertise

I am having a hard time accepting that the passing of page rank through paid links is ethical... What do you think?
This is a huge deal to me as many of my visitors find me via google search and google is wiping out the page rank for bloggers who post paid links and do not include nofollow (which designates to google that the link was paid for).
Do you know of any companies that pay you to blog and also allow you to use nofollow as google states you must?
I do a lot of Internet marketing. I have more than 10 000 links to one of my sites.
I've heard that Google is wiping out links for blogs with paid posts - so. (google has always been a gossip mill. I haven't really seen a difference) I get far more hits from my inbound links and social networking than I ever get from Google. The ratio is close to 10:2
Also if I may highlight a finer point of internet marketin? Google also pays me for the right to put THEIR links on my blog. What is the difference?
The thing that is more ethical about paid mosting over google is that I pick and choose what posts appear on my blog with paid posts. However, google does not give me the right to limit advertisers - so I have no right to refuse an advertiser who earns their income by unethical means.
