If you have ads on your site- google adsense, text link ads or if you write blog posts that advertise for other companies and websites – you might want to create a disclosure policy to post somewhere on your blog. You can tell your readers exactly where you stand on the issue of paid ads and making money on your website in one easy to create statement.
I just created my own Disclosure policy using the Disclosure Policy Generator.
The generator was very easy to use – 6 steps I believe. Simply choose the statements that best describe your sites policy get to the end and click finish. Then all you need to do is copy and paste the disclosure policy that you’ve pasted into a post or a page on your site. You can change the wording once you copy the disclosure that you’ve created to suit your sides description better.
If you scroll down to the bottom of my site – yep right there under ODD PAGES – yep that’s it, click the plus sign beside the words “Odd Pages” and you’ll find my disclosure policy in there. Read it and let me know what you think of it. I think it’s a great way of being open and honest with your readers.
