FTC Paid Blogging Roundup payu2blog.com
October 9th, 2009 by Tony
Regarding the much talked about FTC ruling and how it applies to bloggers doing reviews and endorsements.
For the Payu2bloggers not much is different from all guidelines that have always gone out with any review assignments.
Those participating in those types of assignments are, and have always been asked to disclose in your reviews that you got the product free and to disclose that you are asked/ paid to do a review.
- We have always stressed HONESTY in reviews.
- You will never, and have never been asked, to give a positive review- if you don’t like a product , payu2blog.com has always stated: to simply be professional in your description of why you don’t like the product. Essentially if you don’t like a product explain why but don’t flame it.
The bottom line is that for us and you its business as usual.
Payu2blog.com and our clients have always stressed and welcomed open and honest reviews.
Below is a part of an article ( image linked to original) that was interesting on this topic.
Enjoy your weekend!!

“Competitors are very quick to turn people in.”
Well, that should be fun and interesting eh?
I’d put money on it that other companies start doing this kind of thing to their competitors, no doubt at all.
