FTC Disclosure Codes for Your Posts

With the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) guidelines for disclosure being as tight as ever, I think it's important that we all consider a consistent, easy-to-use technique for disclosure. I have not thoroughly learned nor read the FTC guidelines, so I cannot give any advice on that at this time.

However, I have created some general and specific disclosures that you can display in your blog posts. My advice is to display these at the top of your post before any sponsored material including affiliate links! This way, people know from the get go what they're getting themselves into, so to speak. If you're looking for tips on disclosing properly, Amy Lynn Andrews has more knowledge than I do. Pink Heels Pink Truck also points out the benefit of using a graphic versus text, if you're displaying this before anything else. If you're first paragraph is a sponsorship announcement, you could seriously hurt your SEO.
