As the number of blogs increase it becomes more and more difficult to know what a site’s intent is. Is it just personal opinion, are you running a business, are your posts simply advertisements for product sales or is it a mixture of everything above? None of the answers are wrong, it’s just nice to let your readers know about the things that influence your blogging.
Truthfully, most visitors wont be interested in your disclosure policy but for those that are it’s easy to generate one. I had our disclosure policy up in minutes with the Disclosure Policy Generator by DisclosurePolicy.org. Answer a few questions and you’re just clicks away from a professional Disclosure Policy.

Hi Dennis, I’m going to add more soon. I love generators and there are a ton of good ones. Thanks for stopping by.
I have a few pages I need to add, including what’s in my commentluv below. I just need to figure out how to fit it all on the Nav. bar. LOL
Dennis Edells last blog post..UPDATE: Free Permanent BackLinks: Are You A Subscriber Or Following Me On Twitter?
I used to use these generic disclosure policy generators until I read somewhere that the Google bots can easily work out from the auto generated disclosure policy which blogs are doing paid posts and then penalize them for doing so. Since reading that I have always written my own Disclosure Policy.
Sires last blog post..Blog No Evil,The Fourth Wise Monkey
Hi Sire, I guess that would be a concern if I were doing paid posts but that’s something I’ve never done. I can see where someone might think that there’s a duplicate content issue but the ebook I posted on the Extreme Ezine ‘SEO Lies’ http://extremeezine.com/clearing-up-seo-lies/ cleared that up for me. It wouldn’t hurt to prevent the search engines from indexing those type of pages anyway. I think I’ll do that, it’s not like they help SEO anyway.
I actually do take on paid posts and at one stage I was making up to $300 a week, and yes I did get penalized but I still do it as it is a great source of revenue. Also the paid posts actually bring in a lot of search traffic and those blogs also earn more adsense money, probably due to the extra traffic.
I suppose I could adjust my htaccess file to not allow access to the disclosure page. Don’t know why I never thought of that.
Sires last blog post..Does Google Control Your Blog?
Hi Sire, If I was making $300/week Google could kiss my – oh wait, I forgot this was PG13
I don’t blame you if you’re making decent money at it. My post are hardly worth reading much less paying for lol
The thing is Brian that whilst I had a PR4 on those blogs the potential for making money was a lot greater as you would make a lot more per post, sometimes up to $40 for 200 words.
I don’t know where you get the idea that your posts were not worth reading. let me tell you, if that was true, then why would I keep returning to catch up on your updates?
