After the announcement today that the FTC will require specific behaviour from American bloggers and Internet Marketers there will be a lot of declaration going on to make sure people are compliant before the December 1, 2009 deadline.
This blog of mine probably doesn’t come under FTC jurisdiction seeing as I am a British Subject living in Australia writing on a blog that is hosted in Europe. There are a lot of people asking out there whether they need to comply as they aren’t American, but their blog is hosted in America. They have American readers or customers, or American suppliers. There’s a lot to be explained by FTC lawyer types to non-Americans (don’t take anything I say as professional advice… or anyone else for that matter unless you are paying them for legal advice).
Even though I am pretty sure I don’t have to make a declaration, I still am going to. I believe in cleaning up the internet sales and marketing business, and while I know this FTC ruling will be used by numb-nuts like the twat who filed a DMCA copyright against the SWBN blog, in the long run I prefer the jerks out of the business that poison it for everyone.
Here goes
My blog contains affiliate links (SWBN owned) to Market Samurai which I was given a free copy as a beta tester. Keep that in mind when I tell you that Market Samurai is awesome (which it is 
)
My blog contains links to the Immediate Edge, a membership site I receive in exchange for blog moderation of the Thirty Day Challenge. Keep that in mind when you click on the affiliate link to the Immediate Edge, read my annual Immediate Edge review first.

Planned and executed my exit from the corporate world. Walked away with a 6 figure payment to boot.
Hey Allison
Well this should be interesting. I heard something about this awhile ago, but I didn’t realize that a ruling had come out already. I agree as a home based business person that we need to get the junk off the internet.
Thanks for the article
Cheers,
Darrell
