I don't believe there is anything that is currently in place to govern affiiliate links but I expect something will be announced sooner or later. From what I can tell these measures could be a good thing - I don't think people should be endorsing products without users knowing that they are being paid to do so. .-= ORCA Franchise´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.orcafranchise.com/news/blogs/16_12_09_the_orca_lifestyle_is_brilliant_/index.html" rel="nofollow">16/12/09 - The 'ORCA Lifestyle' is brilliant!</a> =-.

I have a few blogs where I obviously recommend various affiliate products and I'm also a bit worried with Dec. 1 just around the corner (a very sharp corner!). Came across your blog when I was searching for the FTC rules for IMers. Also thanks for the links of reference. Off to study as I'm seriously not sure what I have to do. Add a llittle disclaimer next to EACH of my affiliate links, or a disclaimer somewhere on the blog is enough? I guess I'll also watch what others like me will be doing soon... .-= Low Cholesterol Diets´s last blog ..<a href="http://lowcholesteroldiets101.com/lower-cholesterol-levels-without-drugs.html" rel="nofollow">Lower cholesterol levels without drugs</a> =-.

I can't give any legal advice on this, but I recommend you study up on it and determine your best course of action. @Hanah – I included the reference links in the post so that people could read them and make their own evaluations and decisions.

Do you think that if you're from outside of the US we can go on as before or we have to reevaluate how we do things? Bit scary to think, to be honest...I mean even links to Amazon? c'mon how will we be able to put a kind of disclaimer next to each link, it's just not practical and feasible... .-= Hanah@adjustable bed frame´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.adjustablebedframe.net" rel="nofollow">Adjustable Bed Frame - Get the Best Deals Online</a> =-.

For a start I'm not in the US, though I do think I should comply with US law since my sites are marketed to the US. But secondly I want to be honest, and I want laws that might force some less honest people to start being honest. The tricky thing is knowing how to comply with the law, but it seems like it wil be OK. .-= Web Career Girl´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WebCareerGirl/~3/MnqPSfvDrqU/the-start-of-a-new-week-and-my-first-blog-award.html" rel="nofollow">The Start of a New Week, And My First Blog Award</a> =-.
