I believe that is what will take place, otherwise, it's too inefficient for FTC to monitor all the activities. There is a Chinese proverb “Kill a rooster to scare a monkey”.

We had a discussion in the comments about whether or not that destroyed a bloggers credibility. While this bill may go a little overboard, it is important that bloggers and webmasters be honest with their visitors.

Besides, this may make me unpopular but I really don't see a problem with acknowledgment at the bottom of the post saying that the post was a "paid review" or similar. I mean isn't that what it is, essentially an advertisement disguised, and to say different or to hide that fact is being dishonest with the readers, most of whom trust the blogger they visit.

It will take the FTC an army of a 1,000 people to monitor all the new daily blog posts, and a 1,000 more to address the possible offenders. That said, if they do do anything, it will only be done to those that they can make an example of. Knowing how the U.S. Government works, maybe your title should be “Careful POPULAR Bloggers…”.
