Need text for affiliate links/Amazon affiliate disclosure

[rayray]

I was looking for some help with ideas about posting a small text about the fact that my article may contain affiliate links and/or Amazon links, and I wanted help with phrasing it and what points to include in it.

Why would you want to do that?

 

[rayray]

Hi Gray, I was including it because it is required and I liked seeing disclosures like that when I was shopping.

Actually, it's an FTC requirement, last I heard.

I found a few examples, I need to write my own.

Has there been any incident where anyone lost Amazon account or something for not adding disclosure text?

Too funny --

It’s clear that what’s on my website is a paid advertisement, not my own endorsement or review of the product. Do I still have to disclose that I get a commission if people click through my website to buy the product?

If it’s clear that what’s on your site is a paid advertisement, you don’t have to make additional disclosures. Just remember that what’s clear to you may not be clear to everyone visiting your site, and the FTC evaluates ads from the perspective of reasonable consumers. <<<

OK Well ...
