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.  Two suggested ways you can do this are:

1. On your site’s “About” or “Disclosures” page
What you exactly say is up to you, but here are a couple of examples of Skimlinks’ customers that we think have good (and very different) approaches to their disclosure page:

• Kinja Deals (part of Gizmodo): About page
• Brickset Ltd: Affiliate Disclosure page
• MoneySavingExpert: Disclosure page MoneySavingsExpert goes an additional step and explicitly identifies the relationship they have with Skimlinks on this 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.
