While compromised results helped to kill the popularity of search engines that started doing it, the effect was mitigated greatly when engines began properly listing and separating the sponsored links. I would hate to find purchased results in the google's search, but I don't mind their adsense to the right. I think the same might be true of blogging. Make sure nobody thinks you're trying to trick them and it should work fine. It seems a lot like sponsored search results.

They're clearly sponsored (title, category, different look and feel, and a caption at the bottom of every post explaining it). I don't do them much anymore, mainly because I feel like I'm trading on my audience's trust, which is never cool. Yep. I’ve done a fair number.
