I never disclose the relationship to customers but often get asked because of name recognition. (The name of the Company has the same last name as mine) My interpretation, when I disclose this, is that it gives both the company and myself more credibility...almost like there is more ownership and intensity on my part or that I may be more "in touch" with the owner on their behalf. <br>I would say that promoting related people on-line for money receives less backlash because you are putting your credibility on the line at a higher level so you need to diligent about doing it ONLY if you truly believe they have something of value to offer. This is, of course, if you, yourself have a credible and valued reputation. I am currently in just such a position.
