Check out Jay's latest video, you'll find it at FTC & Affiliate Links/Affiliate Disclosures
While I appreciated Jay's video training, he wasn't in 100% compliance with FTC requirements. I work for Awin, so we do insist that you follow the FTC best practices. I actually did a webinar entitled "Compliance and the FTC which is now available on the Awin YouTube channel. My guest was a former FTC lawyer who now lectures on the subject. FYI, I did share the video with Kyle and he liked it too.
I confess that I haven't watched Jay's video as I've already done my affiliate disclaimers according to the FTC requirements. I assumed (never assume), as Jay is an official trainer here, that he would know what he's talking about.
Yeah, Jay and I have had a brief discussion since that video about some of the finer points, such as you cannot place disclosures in sidebars or footers - it must precede the first affiliate link. I live this topic all day, every day, working with industry lawyers and the FTC on this at a national level (I work for Awin and am responsible for thoroughly understanding compliance for the Awin Group, our US division.) For sure his update was desperately needed, but some of the details were not fully on target.
Then why not take out Amazon insert AWIN.
You have to amend the Docs that you have access to within WA to suit your particular needs and circumstances.

Does the affiliate disclosure statement need adjusting ?

I'm glad to answer that - I work for Awin. Yes, we ask you to use the FTC guidelines. However this can have some fun in it too. We have a webinar on it on the Awin channel on YouTube which covers the the rules and ways to create the right disclosure to fit your site. Let me know if I can help!
