Hey guys on level 3 lesson 4 or 5 and it's having me add affiliate links....it doesn't mention having to add an affiliate disclosure, but after leaving feedback or comments on

I'm sharing the email I got from one merchant on ShareASale:

FTC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

You must include a disclosure statement within any and all pages, blog/posts, or social media posts where affiliate links for our affiliate program are posted as an endorsement or review, and where it is not clear that the link is a paid advertisement. This disclosure statement should be clear and concise, stating that we are compensating you for your review or endorsement. If you received the product for free from us or from the affiliate management team for review, this also must be clearly stated in your disclosure.

• Disclosures must be made as close as possible to the claims.
• Disclosures should be placed above the fold; scrolling should not be necessary to find the disclosure. (e.g. Disclosure should be visible before the jump).
• Pop-up disclosures are prohibited.

For more information about FTC disclosure requirements, please review the FTC's "Dot Com Disclosures" Guidelines at http://www.ftc.gov/os/2013/03/130312dotcomdisclosures.pdf ; and the FTC's

Endorsement Guidelines at http://business.ftc.gov/advertising-and-marketing/endorsements

Here it is - it explains all you need to know about affiliate disclosures

ugh sounds like amazon is super picky about wording.

Hi Amber
Yes you should include an affiliate disclosure on all your posts and pages that have affiliate links. This is a bit of a gap in the training as I made the same mistake. Also there is special text you should use if you are an Amazon Affiliate. Which reminds me I have to do that too. I'll send that to you when I find it.
Best regards
Andy

You should have an affiliate disclosure page and reference that page from your posts containing affiliate links.

Take a look at my drone site for an example:

So level 2 lesson 4 says I need to leave feedback on 2 websites....no one is requesting feedback though....can I go on to the next lesson and just keep trying to check and see

You can skip it and get back to it whenever you want :)

Hi - you can either move on, or use this thread instead.

Oooh! Ok on the lesson it says to use the site feedback. So that you get credits and then use those credits to request your own feedback on your website.

Hi - yes, that is what usually happens, but on occasions when there are no requests, it's perfectly acceptable to use the thread instead.

The "pay it forward" method is used, so once you have given feedback on two other sites within the thread, then you can ask for it for your site.

Gotcha!! Thank you!!!

Hello all, just had a question about referencing someone who helped me with my research for the content of an article. I’m on level 2 lesson 3 writing my first article...

I think it also helps your authority too!

Jeff

It's actually good for your site to link out to other sites that help your readers solve their problems :) Google likes that too.

Thank you Anis! Good to know!

You're welcome Amber! :)

It is quite common for Bloggers in similar niches to refer to and even link to each other. Does you no harm with Google either. Love the profile photo by the way I am Father of 5.

Good luck🧐

Thank you! That was another thing I was wondering if it would hurt my rating to have another website linked in the content of the article....I wish she had etsy....
Haha thank you! That’s my 1 and only in there. He’s out now, 5 months old!

Aw congratulations thats wonderful good luck with him and this stay in touch🧐

I see no problem with it since you two have a standing agreement to reference each others work. But I'm not a legal scholar. I don't even play one on TV. Let's let others chime in first.
