Personally if it was a blog like yours then yes I would mention it. You don't want to try and fool regular readers who may know exactly that its a paid link.

Yes, definitely mention it. Actually, I was approached last night to add a link on one of my blog posts or to write a new entry for them. They offered a whopping $35

That'll get me a few pints on Saturday!
