How do I disclose the use of Skimlinks on my site?

If you’re using affiliate links, you need to disclose that you may be paid as a result of people engaging with your content. This is a legal requirement.  Two requirements are:

1. On your site’s “About” or “Disclosure” page
What you exactly say is up to you, but here are a couple of examples of Skimlinks’ Publishers that have good approaches to their disclosure page:

• GoodtoKnow: About Us page
• Collagerie: Affiliate Disclosure page
• The Home Page: Affiliate Disclosure page

2. A clear description at the top of every article or post

Remember that a general disclosure is not enough. The FTC expects consumers to be able to see the disclosure of the relationship on every article or post that has affiliate links.
