I'm tired of seeing get rich quick ads and other misleading ads on reputable sites such as FaceBook, FoxNews, USA Today. These are all scams and I'm glad that the advertising agency paying these publishers will not be responsible for the publisher's unethical practices.

There are so many legal landmines in the new regs – equal protection (newspapers and bloggers treated differently regarding free book review copies), free speech, overbroad regs, selective enforcement, vagueness – that I would love to challenge. If I had time to waste and money to burn.

Better to live under the radar.

You have to figure the only way to police bloggers and endorsements is with some software or algorithm. You have millions of bloggers and maybe billions of ads.

My suggestion would be to over disclose and turn the disclosure into a marketing ploy.

For example, you might put in the disclosure that you receive affiliate commissions if the visitor clicks on a link and buys something, but put in bold that you were not provided a free sample to review nor were you paid to review the product.
