From the .com booklet, it makes these important points.


So then a disclosure should meet the requirement of being Clear and Conspicuous as stated in the .com booklet:


Hmmm, I'm guessing you can see there could be more to this than just putting a statement up as I had done. Having the disclosure statement in the footer did not meet this expectation of the law.

My link is in my sidebar, but on the bottom. Wonder if I need to move it to the top, or at least closer to the top.

Hey Chris,

I think that in the side-bar is a good idea because it will go along with the items you may be recommending to folks. The key is to make sure it is 'clear and conspicuous'. My gut is saying I'd rather it be closer to the top than buried if you will in the flow of your side-bar widgets.

Does this help?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Maybe right under my subscribe and search fields.

Loes created this tutorial that has some language that can be a cut and paste. I recommend reading it with an eye to make sure it fits what you are doing on your site.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, Brian, for taking a look. Guess I should have found a catchy title for this cause it hasn't captured much interest. I wrote the training because I felt it would be a good resource for folks who are trying so hard but may not have gotten it right.

Ah well, lesson learned.

I appreciate your feedback!

Linda
