FTC on blog

Post  an0n on 15th April 2011, 12:47 pm

I didn't know where else to post this, so I thought I'd start a new topic on their FTC, or lack thereof on many blog posts. Post any proof you find, cause people are starting to notice it on videos but not so much on their blogs. If affiliate links are used they must be mentioned as part of FTC.

Affiliate links used on every link in the following screen shot.




But there's no FTC, even at the end of the post, as seen here.

I've gotten so fed up of how many times they are doing it, so here's just the links to the posts in which there are affiliate links used but no FTC.

Well they have been "borrowing" from other blogs without giving credit since they first launched the website, so this is no surprise.
