Breaking News! During the 5pm hour of the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, Internet Reporter Abbi Tatton reported new guidelines from the Federal Trade Commission urging bloggers to disclose their relationships with advertisers and companies for whom they review products for.
As part of the segment, Abbi showed a variety of blogs that currently do it right and you guessed it! She showed my blog, specifically a post I did about Bella Monica Gluten-Free Pizzas. If you look back at all of my posts about food products, you'll see that I clearly identify that I was sent the food items by the company and did not pay for them myself.
The new FTC rules will go into effect on December 1, 2009, however they do not mandate how a blogger must disclose the relationships. They only say that it must be easy to understand and clearly visible.
