Sarah and I try to limit our coverage of specific companies so it doesn't appear that we write about them all the time. You can imagine how many emails we receive both as individuals and through the WPTavern contact form of folks wanting their plugin, theme, or service reviewed. Most even offer us 70% affiliate commissions lol. Most also go in the trash.

Sarah and I are pretty selective in what we write about and it has nothing to do with deals under the table or some sort of allegiance. Some companies are much better with PR and marketing than others. While Sarah and I do the dirty work of trying to discover plugins, products, and services that help or solve problems for people, it's nice to hear from an actual company of a new product they are releasing whether we write about it or not.
