Each one?? This seems very tedious, and messy, and also sounds very difficult to incorporate when using in-text linking, particularly when using selected kws? I much prefer your solution, although I'm not sure that it is fully meeting the requirements?? I understand that there has been misrepresentation, and that there is an intention to improve marketing truth. But some of the regulations do seem like a bit of over-kill. It is difficult for an affiliate to be able to be satisfied that the merchant is necessarily using truthful, real testimonials. Apparently, the affiliate is now considered liable in this regard. In trying to ensure that representations are truthful, the online regulations seem to be much more stringent than television advertising, whicht gives false impressions all the time :) regards, Jules http://www.writeformeonline.com http://www.salespagethemespecial.com FTC – I thought we needed to disclose the affiliate relationship at the point of link?

However, I plan to say please support my affiliate or sponsors. I hope this means the same thing, after all I don't see big stores who many have affiliates saying this all the time. However, I do want to be in compliance. So, I will make sure I disclose that I am using affiliates. Hopefully, the affiliate will be just what the customer or client wants. Which is the ultimate goal as a succesfful marketer is anyway .....right? I was really wondering about this new FTC issue. However, I plan to say please support my affiliate or sponsors.

Prospects and customers already understand affiliate marketing, and that "everyone does it." I image most are accepting of the practice, since they're doing something similar themselves at some level! Not necessarily so easy in other markets. Thank you Mark for this information about the new FTC rules. I'd been looking for the straight scoop on this, and you delivered. Chuck It’s very convenient to be in the internet marketing business.

How to become just that has been part of our lesson from you. The fact that you are a successful affiliate marketer is teaching us by example. I guess we will have to include a disclosure in our ebooks, also... Oh well, not to worry! Mark,
