Help! Please Give Me Your Opinion

Thanks to Wen, I have finally posted my disclosure policy. While I was doing that, I was a little confused and didn’t know what to choose for the following:

A) The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. That content, advertising space or post may not always be identified as paid or sponsored content.


B) This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. We believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity. The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. That content, advertising space or post will be clearly identified as paid or sponsored content.


So, I need your help, especially those who are into paid posts writing. Please give me your opinion on the above. Which option did you choose and why?

Why the need for a disclosure policy? I have yet to even find this out. So, can't help you there. By the way, I'll try to reply your e-mail today or tomorrow.

i also "agak-agak" ... but to me it's better to state it clear between paid post and non-paid post.

*A* would be the choice because that is the main reason you are getting the disclosure policy (it would most probably be smorty or 3P). Labelling postpaid&non would cause those "google robots" to identify your posts and gives you a lower page ranking too.
I am using a signature, like http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/309/36B37D2BC93C073156AE6590CFCA1B9D.png
to identify my paid and non.

I opted for the (A).
Some advertisers don't like posties to mention "this is a paid/sponsored post", and they are more prefer the blog to have site-wide disclosure. That's why i opted for A.

Huisia,

Thanks for the advice.

Hi Jo-N,
What is this disclosure policy all about. I also came across this but get confused.

Jacss said...

oopss, i still haven't got time to look into this......can't advise u instead i'll have to seek back yr opinion, haha!

slavemom said...

I chose (B) coz I wanna state clearly to my readers if it's a paid post... so that they can skip it if it's not an advertisement of interest to them. Just my personal preference.
