AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE
The FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION released new requirements on TRADE DISCLOSURES in 2015 for all internet marketing/e-commerce. These new disclosures are to make sure that all sites are compliant with the newly updated FTA standards in e-commerce. Please note that all sites involved in affiliate marketing have since been required to let their readers know that the website owner could receive a small compensation when a visitor clicks on any/all affiliate link leading to a purchase of a product(s) by that reader with whatever company that the link is affiliated with…
The price of the said product will remain the same for the customer, regardless if they purchase directly from the affiliate site or via clicking a link on this website. The small compensation is paid from the affiliate to the website owner only if a customer clicks the website owners link.
All Affiliate Disclosures must be posted in a non-conspicuous area of the blog in clear site for all readers to quickly see and needs to give the names of the website owner and the affiliated party. (Ex: Karen Badea is the owner of ‘The Appalachian Sage’ blog. As an example, the affiliate might be Amazon or any other direct affiliate website) .
Please note that ‘The Appalachian Sage’ blog is an affiliated site with various companies including Amazon, Star Botanicals, etc… Yes, we do make a small percentage, but that minute amount helps me to keep bringing you wonderful content on this blog.
Per FTC Compliance, definitely, assume that all links and posts on my site (‘The Appalachian Sage’) will lead to an affiliate website or product. Any and all links on ‘The Appalachian Sage’ blog could result in me receiving a small compensation from the affiliate. All purchases are made via the affiliate website and a customer is buying from the affiliate directly, not from ‘The Appalachian Sage’ blog site. Customer service will be handled by the affiliate, not ‘The Appalachian Sage’ blog site.
