Mike,

Loved the pdf, and just recently came across your blog by way of the salty droid. I really appreciate and admire the work you are doing. Keep up the fantastic work. Just a quick question regarding this new FTC policy, i reside in canada and a couple other tax-haven countries through out the year, and since the FTC has no say about canadians (yet), does this ruling really affect my IM business in canada?

As canada will most certainly follow the US in creating a similar law, probably sometime in 2010, it is probably a good idea to start now that way when things change i wont have to overhaul everything. But with that said i would have some time to make the changes, unlike my fellow IMers in the US.

Also since my other businesses reside in tax-haven countries free from anything US or canada controlled, nothing the US or canada does should affect anything i do over there, would this be a fair assessment?

Thanks for your time Mike, a new follower of your blog, and hopefully client in the coming future.

Eric,

That’s a business judgment call on your part. How much risk do you want to assume that you haven’t fully disclosed as far as the FTC is concerned?

Many put the disclosure link in the footer along with links to privacy policy, terms of use, etc.

Some put the disclosure banner in a sidebar.

Best wishes,

-Mike

Hi Mike, do i need to put disclosure on every post i have?

What if I have posts that are just for information without any affiliate links and some do?

Can I just put the disclosure on a page which applied to all my site content?

Thanks!
