I also have partners that simply put a link on their site to mine, I thank them and put a link to their site from mine. They are partners too.

I get discounts at a lot of places, some of them are online, and some are my local cigar shops. But that doesn't mean I am gonna rush out and tell everyone that the cigar that I got at a discount was great if it was in fact, crappy.

Whenever someone cuts me a break, I thank them and am happy to put a link to their site or business (unless it's illegal, or immoral, etc ).

But bottom line, I never consider these conflicts of interest because getting a discount does not influence my objectivity and fairness. others may consider this a conflict...perceived

Regarding the reviews that i share with the folks here, I do so because I think that some people might be interested. If there is something in my review that smacks of a conflict of interest, please point that out to me. Otherwise, you should take my reviews as you take everyone else's, as their personal opinion.

We will just have to disagree on the definition of a conflict of interest.
