The FTC is currently discussing plans to monitor websites and blogs that recommend or promote products. It seems that even a link to an Amazon book could be reason for investigation.
New guidelines, expected to be approved late summer 2009 with possible modifications, would clarify that the agency can go after bloggers — as well as the companies that compensate them — for any false claims or failure to disclose conflicts of interest.
Although, it makes sense that there should be some regulation as to how affiliate marketers promote their products, it seems somewhat draconian to simply go after anyone with an affiliate link on their site. In any case, I wonder how they are actually thinking that they can police the entire affiliate industry.

It’s a new video my good friend Marty Rozmanith (the guy behind Wordpress Direct . . . though that’s NOT what this is about) just posted . . .
And it shows the *shocking* story of how one of Marty’s students (a corporate refugee with *NO* previous internet marketing experience) is *raking in* $25,000 A MONTH using nothing but sneaky “automatic” websites . . .
And here’s the *weird* part . . . this guy is making all this moolah . . .
- Without a product . . .
- Without a list . . .
- Without paying out the nose for traffic (this is some of the sneakiest “Google Seducing” stuff I’ve seen) . . .
- And without doing much in the way of “work” at all . . .
You should check out the video . . . It’s short, but there’s a LOT of content there and you’ll get a lot out of it.
By the way, no opt in . . . no ritual chanting . . . no giving up your first born child or anything like that required. Just go over to CPA Ninja and you can watch the whole video for free. |
