Some people will fret over adding a Pay Per Post site wide disclosure to their site. It sounds difficult and complicated, but it isn’t.

The purpose of a disclosure is to ensure that American regulations are kept. Whether this affects you if you are not a US citizen and not blogging from the US (like me) is open to debate, but systems like Pay Per Post insist that all blogs have a disclosure.

They are quite simple. All you are saying is that you do write paid posts, but your posting is always based on your own opinions. For example, take a look at my own disclosure that reads:

This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation.

The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. That content, advertising space or post may not always be identified as paid or sponsored content.

The owner(s) of this blog is compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. Even though the owner(s) of this blog receives compensation for our posts or advertisements, we always give our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the bloggers’ own. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.

This blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.

To get your own policy, go to http://www.disclosurepolicy.org

Quite easy! Just copy and paste something along those lines onto a page of your blog and ensure that page is linked to from every post you write.
