What's to the (rumor?) of the $11,000 per violation for noncompliance? Trusted news sources were reported that bloggers who don’t disclose payment will be fined $11,000 per violation. The updated FTC regulations don’t mention an $11,000 fine at all. None of the original articles with erroneous information had been updated to reflect the lack of this exhorbitant fee.
To the credit of the majority of bloggers - we are doing the right thing already. That being said, the level of vigilance lies in the hands of each blogger to remain within the bounds of the regulation guidelines. The rest is relatively simple. Write your own disclosure policy/statement and post it clearly on your blog. Need help in writing that disclosure. This site will assist you in generating one.
Has the new FTC regulation effected the way that you maintain your blog? How so? Have you included a disclosure statement in your blog? Let talk about it...
