Sponsored posts?

I've been considering signing up to one of those sponsored blogging sites recently. I need to boost my income, and I know a few people who make a fair bit of money from it. But I'm scared of losing visitors if I participate in sponsored blogging. Would you think any less of this blog if you came across an occasional sponsored post? I wouldn't be replacing my own content with sponsored content. I would also be very careful in selecting topics for such posts. I would only post about products or services I felt offered genuine value to my readers. There would be nothing trashy promoted here! I would also try to make the posts interesting to a wider audience, not just those interested in the product being promoted. I know, from personal experience, that blogs which contain mostly sponsored posts, are not nice to visit.

Anyway, I'm still undecided about this. On the one hand, I want to make some money. On the other hand, I don't really want to hand over editorial control of my content to someone else. And I certainly don't want to alienate any of my lovely readers. As this blog is run on pretty democratic lines, I'll let you, the reader, decide. Please take a moment to vote in the poll above, and tell me how you feel. I would be very grateful for your input. Thanks!
