I support this and I believe it should apply to everyone, even if they don’t get $ for it, even if they get free stuff for it.

When I look online for for product reviews, I surely hope what I am reading is an honest review, not an endorsement. Now I will have a better chance of knowing that.

It’s terribly manipulative for anyone to “pretend” to “review” something when all they are in fact doing is endorsing a product for a company that gave them something to do it.

I think this particular FTC policy is over-broad and should only apply to large scale enterprises such as Amazon and their numerous “customers” who write reviews about how wonderful the products are. This should not apply to Mom N Pop blogs earning less than a set amount. Say for e.g. $10k/yr.

Now that we’re nearing the deadline to post some kind of compliance statement on our blog, does anyone know of some boilerplate language to use that will cover the necessary FTC sections?

I’m a little p.o.’d that we even have to do this, and even more angry that I may have to spend a couple hundred dollars to someone to become compliant. I may make a few dollars as an affiliate, but I may end up spending more money to comply with government rules than I make!
