Is fiction a lie?

I have a review site which I used a fictional character for and the reviews are not based on personal experience.
In fact, they were written by article writers.

I used to promote the site by guest posting and commenting years ago and I actually made some sales with it.
I stopped promoting it due to lack of time and interest. I am however, back in business and I was wondering if what I am going to do is basically deceiving people, so I can make profit out of it.

I have a "Disclaimer" link at the bottom of the page and it goes to a page which says:

Still, when I am promoting the site behind a fictional character, it does not feel right (?)


What do you think?

There is a reason it's blackhat

90% of the internet is either an illusion, or a delusion.
You have at least a visible disclaimer on your site . I'd say go for it with a peace of mind!

I can't see any problem with this, you are honest, your visitors will make up their own minds. Most people use mobiles and skim text, I doubt if any will even notice
