No disrespect, but these posts of yours come across as just pimping a product that was given to you free of charge by Warn. One of the very first things you find when you click your link is a "Buy it now" button and a bunch of manufacturer specs and hype, no real review or critical comments

No disrespect taken.
A LARGE majority of products that I review on my site are thoroughly tested and only published if it is something I'd recommend. I regularly give back products to manufacturers that are not items I'd recommend. In the reviews I do post I try hard to give both the pros and cons, as EVERY product out there is a compromise in some way and dose have it's down falls compared to it's competitors.
Some product highlights like this one on the Warn 16.5ti are a bit of "pimping a product." I chose the product because I believed it was the best for my application, have now had it for nearly a year and it has proven to live up to the hype, Warn is a quality company that I've enjoyed working with in the past and they continue to support, through product, projects that I work on, like the EEXP.
I currently only "monetize" Exploring Elements through selling logoed gear and Amazon affiliate links (which kicks me back 4-6% of sales through the links on the site). So far these avenues of income have barely produced enough to keep the site live, and for sure the site still operates at a major loss overall.
Appreciate the feedback though. Will try to be less obtrusive with the "buy it now" and be more critical in the future. Always working to improve the site, but also find less intrusive ways to monetize it as well, so that I can keep devoting the resources to keeping it up.
