You may recall the other day that I posted about the FTC regulating word of mouth marketing. Many other people posted about it as well, as this is big news among those getting paid for posts and potentially for affiliate marketers as well.

Well, this officially starts Monday I guess, but PayPerPost is now requiring disclosure about being paid to blog. It needs to be reasonably visible on the blog as a whole or in each individual post.

This is something that appeared on my to-do list on Wednesday when I first posted about it. I’m working on a nice general purpose one that should take just a few moments to add to my sites. I’m not just doing the paid to post ones, I’m hitting the affiliate marketing ones as well for good measure.

Are they paying me to post this? Absolutely!

Would I have posted it anyhow? Yeah, but the pay got me to do it a little sooner… I was cleaning the house. It’s Saturday and I have to take some time off work, don’t I? It had been on the list for after the kids were in bed. Such is life when you work at home.
