I've been disclosing affiliate links since the guidelines went into effect. Picked up an unobtrusive way to do it over at WantNot.net. I explain how in this BlogCoach.org post: http://bit.ly/bvOYkt.

I also have Kontera ads that automatically link certain words or phrases. Do I have to disclose that? Sometimes I link certain words or phrases to my amazon affiliate links in just a normal post when I am mentioning a product...not endorsing or recommending it. Do I have to disclose that as well? The new laws are a bit confusing. MANY bloggers have automatic links in all their posts. Would a blur at the end of EVERY post be sufficient? I have affiliate links in my posts.
