Do you have an Affiliate Disclaimer?
The FTC in America now requires all affiliate marketers to carry a disclaimer on their website - this is in addition to the privacy policy. You can read more here
In the mean time, you can get a plugin which will write the page for you.
"Affiliate disclosure statement" is fairly easy to use, you just fill in the name of your website (not the domain name) and all the affiliate programs you belong to. Then it will generate a code which you simply paste to the page you want the disclosure to be on.
To answer some questions a few people have asked
What is the plugin called?
Affiliate disclosure statement
Where do I find it?
Go to your website admin. On the menu on the left, look for Plugins and in the sub menu, click on Add New. Copy and paste the plugin name here then search.
Save and activate.
How do I fill in the details?
Once you have activated it. Go back to the main menu and look for Settings. When you put the mouse over this a sub menu will appear. Click on AffiliateDisclosure
A new page will open. List your website name - not domain name - in the top small window. In the second list all the affiliate programs you use. It's small but will scroll sideways.
Save.
How do I get it on the page?
Just above the save button you will see
To use the affiliate disclosure statement add the shortcode [affiliate-disclosure-statement] to any page.
Copy the part I have put in bold. Go to the page you have set up for the Affiliate discloser to appear on and add it in the edit section. Make sure it is in text first and not visual mode. Just paste it here then save. It may take a few minutes to show up.

Thanks Michelle. I heard about that but I thought the Privacy Policy covered that.requirement. I haven't used plugins before, could you
briefly explain how to go about creating that page. Also, is there a steep learning curve when it comes to incorporating images to your website? I had all sorts of trouble placing them where I wanted them and when the page looked good in the editing site I would update and preview the page. Many times the actual page didn't reflect how I set it up on the editing page. Why is that? Also, I couldn't seem to create my images to be clickable links. How would I do that? Sorry for all the questions, but I really appreciate your help. Kathy
Here is a training I did for when images are not cooperating: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/tips-tricks-with-adding-images
I have it set up on my website if you'd like to check it out.

Hi Michelle,
so it looks like the Affiliate Disclosure is at the bottom of your privacy policy, is this correct? Do you have to use a plugin or can you just write something like what you have and add it to the bottom or your privacy page? Thanks!!

So I guess it would be best to enable NO-INDEX NO-FOLLOW in the All In One SEO for the disclaimer as we do with the privacy policy right?
That's what I'm thinking :)
