I hope by now everyone is up to speed on the FTC's new disclosure guidelines for bloggers and affiliates. Do you have a disclosure policy prominently displayed on your blog or site? Have you gone over any review copy and testimonials you have posted with a fine tooth comb to be sure they're compliant with the new FTC guidelines?

<strong>The new guidelines go into effect today, so in case you are behind the 8 ball, here are some quick tips and tools to help you get in compliance.</strong>
