New Rules For Affiliate Online Marketing !
On December 1, 2009 you must be in compliance with the new rules for affiliate online marketing, actually any type of Internet online marketing. The FTC ( federal trade commission ) has implemented some new rules for the affiliate or anyone who is marketing products online. I am going to cover some of the basic rules that you need to be aware of in order to make sure you are complying properly. I suggest you go straight to their website and review all the new rules that have been laid out. You will be able to find them at http://www.ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005revisedendorsmentguides/pdf These rules mostly apply to claims,testimonials,endorsements and the receiving of any compensation as a result of these.
It is suggested that you go to this page and read the guidelines, its only 12 pages long and has examples of what is deceptive and what is permissible. What all this really means is all Internet marketers need to do a better job of being transparent with their marketing practices, that means promoting typical results and not best results, being clear about our relationship with our endorser’s and people we endorse also having a closer relationship with our customers. After all if you are going to become successful with your affiliate online marketing business you need to build your customer’s trust so they will buy from you. I believe this can turn out to be a good thing for our industry.
