Where2NowMag.com replied to kimba's discussion 'Affiliate Marketing vs. Paid Ads' in the group Business of Travel Blogging
I've just started with affiliate ads, in addition to AdSense, which hasn't paid very much. But I do have an acquaintance who has a very popular site (food, not travel) and he only uses Adsense and CPM networks like Adsdaq, Tribal Fusion,…

I run one of the most popular travel gear review blogs (Practical Travel Gear) and have brought this subject up with multiple PR people, affiliate ad people, and others you would think would care about this ruling. Close to 100% of them think…

Sorry, I know that this can be complicated. Although the FTC and my explanation above discuss this in terms of blogs and bloggers, the guidelines for endorsements covers much more than just blogs. These guidelines have been in place since 1980…

Tom, I do appreciate you weighing in on this but, quite frankly, I think I'm more confused than before. The reason is mostly due to the fact that a reliable source has told me that technically, my site is not considered a blog - which I agree…

As a founder of CMP.ly, I wanted to weigh in on this. There are a few significant differences to the way that the FTC is treating blogs and tweets with regard to disclosures. The most important distinction is that, under the revised guidelines, the…

Hi Carl, Personally, I think it's much less dramatic to have a small icon in the footer of a blog or site than to have to individually disclose in a sentence or two the situation. As my site contains content from numerous individuals, this…

My dad was a radio personality (starting in the 70's and on for 30 years) and would do 5 minute long conversations about a product that were obviously paid endorsements. That is how media works. I'm not afraid of these new FTC…

This type of "badging" is clearly overkill and, in my estimation, counterproductive. It clutters your blog unnecessarily and seems amateurish to disclaim everything. As a former broadcaster, we were subject to the FTC's…

Randy Poisson replied to Where2NowMag.com's discussion 'Required Disclosure for New FTC Blogger Rule' in the group Business of Travel Blogging
You make a great point. The FTC seemingly would have jurisdiction over any US based website (ie utilizing a US based host or server) and a blogger operating with the US. Each would likely have different implications. I'd love to see more legal…

I saw on another discussion about whether this rule applies to all bloggers or just those with data on US servers. If so, that's interesting - we're subject to this rule just because our sites are U.S. sites. Also, I've read that…

Thanks, Randy. Yours is a pretty comprehensive disclosure and covers just about all the bases. Thanks for sharing.

I wrote a general disclosure that covers all of my websites. I attach a link to it in all of my posts, then specifically disclose at the bottom of the post any relationship that relates directly to that post. Please feel free to use parts of it if…

I'm in the process of writing mine. I already disclose on pages I earn money as I knew this was coming. Still, I am going to turn it into a proper page and then provide the link through for information. I don't think it's something we…

Semester in North Africa - Festival of Sacrifice

By Katherine Lochery



The days from Thanksgiving to the end of that weekend I probably consumed the most food I have ever eaten in my life. I don’t say this in that cute way that we sometimes do back home after we gorge ourselves on something like Thanksgiving Dinner. In fact, the makeshift Thanksgiving I shared here on Thursday with some friends pales in comparison to Saturday and Sunday’s events. Although Thanksgiving was delicious and I ate a considerable amount of… Continue

Shoulder Season Cruising Makes the Mediterranean a Great Value

Story and photos by Lynn DeBruin

Just a few months earlier I had sworn that the next time I visited Venice, it’d be with a guy. But here I stood, in arguably the most romantic city in the world, with two girlfriends at my side. Was I crazy? Some would think. But shoulder season travel offered ... Read Full Article »

The Flavors of Montréal

By Hope S. Philbrick

Depending on where you’re coming from, a trip to Montréal can be less expensive than a trip to Paris but equally charming. Full of history and spectacular architecture you’ll find French language, food and style in harmony with familiar aspects of North American culture. No matter your reason for visiting Montréal—business or pleasure, ... Read Full Article »

Staying in Belize...

…in a small, romantic and affordable hotel nestled off the coast of Central America.

Story and photos by Stacey Dougherty

Nothing quite beats getting away from it all when that means jetting off to a remote island in the Caribbean Sea surrounded by nothing except other tiny islands and atolls, all part of the second largest barrier...Read Full Article »
