Today I read this and got me thinking. Here it says that we should write a disclosure on every page where an affiliate link is included and/or placed and that it should appear
To be FTC compliant, the disclosure should be on each page which contains an affiliate link. It must appear prior to the affiliate link (it an be at the top of the page before all the text, as long as the first link is the affiliate link).
It cannot be in the sidebar. It cannot be at the end of the post.
A link in the footer is not compliant. A link to another page is not compliant.
I've hosted entire webinars on this topic for Awin.com; I'm responsible for monitoring the laws for the entire network. I have to know this stuff. In fact I spent two hours discussing the topic with a lawyer who specializes in affiliate marketing, the FTC, GDPR, ITP, etc., last week at our Think Tank event.
Viglink has it right.
Most people tick this box by adding an affiliate disclaimer in the footer, that way it's on every page, but it does depend on the affiliate program and what their specific requirements are.
The strictest one I've come ever across is Bluehost who will not pay you unless you write words to the effect of "This is an affiliate link, I get paid if you click this and buy" on every post there's a link.
For 99% of times though, an affiliate disclaimer in the footer somewhere will suffice. There's one in the templates of SiteContent you can use :)
That is not FTC Compliant. It must precede the first affiliate link on each page. Expect this to become a more strict requirement as the FTC continues to monitor this issue. It's because there are so many bad actors who try to skirt this issue, so the FTC has no choice but to enforce their own guidelines.

In many Affiliate Programs I've read that they offer Banners, "Creatives", but I don't know exactly what they mean within the context of affiliate marketing, could someone expl
Creatives is the blanket term for all the advertising media that a network or program will make available to its affiliates.
This includes banners but also text links, videos, pre-made forms, website widgets, and in some rare cases, editable photoshop files.
Absolutely. I suppose, in theory, it could even include MP3 files.
Just beware of directly using product images without checking the affiliate network's policies on that.
Amazon forbids the direct use of product images, for example.

I've read in some Affiliate Program's applications "Restricted keywords", what do they mean by that? Do they mean that we can't use those keywords in our posts?
I think they might be referring to keywords you can't use in paid advertising, such as Google Ads.
"restricted keywords" what does that mean?

This has been a few days now, hopefully, it will be fixed soon :(
