FTC Internet Website Compliance

WARNING!!!
THIS IS FAR FROM A JOKE!

 

FTC Internet Website Compliance – March 2012 New Regulations Went Into Effect

It’s no laughing matter. Making sure your website is FTC compliant is not only smart, it is also just good web business (iBusiness)

Regardless whether you are an affiliate or sell your own products, you need to protect yourself and business. Heck, for that matter, if you just have a blog, throw up a few videos, pictures, and write some articles, you should have it too.  At least put up a ‘Terms and Conditions’, ‘Anit-spam’, and the DMCA page.

These FTC regulations came to be because of some bad apples in the internet marketing deception arena. Let’s face it, people who are working hard to make a few dollars get the brunt end of their works.

Bad names, accusations, and scammers is what many people label internet marketers as. I believe having the proper website compliance information helps to ease this misnomer…not to mention helping to keep legal issues at bay.

Even the big guy, Google, has also revamped their legal documents. Anyone who has a Google account has received the emails and popups when logging in.

How are we going to take the steps to make our websites FTC compliant?

FTC Compliant

There you’ll find a set of documents that you will be able to put on your websites. Yes, ALL your web properties.

Here is a list of website compliance forms you will receive:

  • Anti-Spam Policy
  • Copyright Notice
  • Disclaimer: multi-discipline professional disclaimers
  • DMCA Compliance
  • Federal Trade Commission Compliance
  • Privacy Policy: Google & DoubleClick DART, etc.
  • Terms of Service & Conditions of Use
  • Social Media Disclaimer

If you look at the top of the page, you will see links to all of my legal website documents. At the very least, this shows I am showing good faith in letting visitors know I am on the up and up.

Now, this internet website is in the USA. Do you happen to be doing business in the USA and living elsewhere in the world? It would be excellent practice to make your internet properties FTC compliant as well. After all, if someone sees your url from another country, they may have reservations in doing internet business with you.

You’ll notice one of the website legal documents has to do with the DMCA. I believe this one is very important to have. It shows the DMCA that you are serious about keeping your website, well, yours.

On all the website legal documents you will find contact information at the bottom. I use a helpdesk program called osTicket (http://www.osticket.com/). It is free. You can set it up on one domain and have ALL of your visitors’ concerns addressed. Should someone contact you, be sure to follow up.

The Best Spinner vs Spin Rewriter – Article Spinning Compared

There is a new kid on the block and he isn’t shy. Chest puffed out, boasting with “Can Do’s” and “We Do It Best’s”, Spin Rewriter is making some huge claims.  Does The Best Spinner have something to worry about?

Is Newcomer Spin Rewriter Poised To Take Over The Best Spinner

I have been using, well, tinkering with The Best Spinner for a year now. It has creative ways to spin your text making it a dream for more people to use. Not stuck in the traditional ‘pick a word then pick the synonyms’, TBS will appeal to many more people. In this year, The Best Spinner has come out with upgrades and features on a dream pace.

The Best Spinner features are numerous and can be seen demonstrated on this video

The Best Spinner Article Spinner

Here are a few The Best Spinner features anyway:

  • Hands-down the BEST built-in English thesaurus with hundreds of millions of entries added by REAL users writing real-world articles!
  • NEW! German, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish and Portuguese (both Brazilian and Portugal) language thesauri now included.
  • The fastest, easiest article spinner interface for creating unique content with lightening speed.
  • Unlimited nested article spinner — go as many levels deep as you want. Different color coding for up to four nested levels.
  • Fast individual article rewrites with the built in “word replacement” functionality, as well as the one-click “Auto-Rewrite” function.
  • Full-sentence and paragraph article spinner.
  • Allows saving “Favorite” synonym lists for terms you commonly use in your articles — and replaces them ALL with one click of a button.
  • Generates up to 1,000 spun versions of your article at a time into a ZIP file or automatically generates one spun version on screen that you can copy to the Windows clipboard.
  • Check your spun articles against other articles on the web to make sure search engines sees them as unique — using The Best Spinner’s built-in “TBS Check” or the Copyscape API.
  • Export to virtually any other spin format for compatibility with other systems.
  • Display article word count and uniqueness percentage.
  • The thesaurus updates constantly as the thousands of users work in the system.
  • Built-in spelling and grammar checking.

However, I must tell you now, The Best Spinner is ‘PC ONLY’ program and requires you to be connected to the internet (Actually, both require you to be connected to use). I use a MacBook with VMWare to run PC programs. If you are a MAC or Linux user, there is a free emulator, VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org), you can us. You’ll still have to purchase the Windows software though.

How can Spin Rewriter compete? That’s a tough act to follow!

Spin Rewriter, on the other hand, is a web based article spinner. This means, as long as you can connect to the internet, login to your account, you can rewrite away. I could even use it from a library computer if your computer crashed and put you in a pinch. For that matter, you could even use it with a smart phone or iPad.

This being said, Spin Rewriter is a new, upcoming article spinner with currently less than 1 milling synonyms. That sounds like a lot yet still just a newb in the eyes of The Best Spinner.

Both use customer input to increase and better their synonym database. You might get a cringe from that as I did. You know what, oh well! If it makes a larger, better, more intuitive selection of words to use, alrighty then…go for it.

Seeing Spin Rewriter in action on this video helps a lot.

Spin Rewriter Article Spinner

A few Spin Rewriter features include:

  • One button rewrite
  • Understands the text and only suggests meaningful synonyms
  • Bulk Rewrite multiple articles with one click
  • Keep you up to date on the uniqueness
  • Works on multi platforms, MAC OS, Linus, Windows and even your phone

Spin Rewriter is great to have. One account and I can use any computer I need to access it. If I happen to start a project on my MAC, I can save it. Later I can continue using another computer.

My Article Spinner Battle Conclusion:

They both have their strengths. I really don’t see any weaknesses except for one. More on that later…

  1. They get better the more people use them
  2. Each has a ‘One Click’ spin function
  3. They output in several ‘spin’ formats
  4. Paragraph, sentence, phrase and single-word level article spinner include
  5. Ability to display uniqueness of spun article versions
  6. Something not mentioned, they have api access for programmers to use in plugins

With all their abilities, I find the weakness is…proofreading. Yes the weakness is the user. It is wise to proofread each and every version you use. How many times have you read something on the web that made NO sense? Frustrating!

I now have both, paying the annual fee for the access to these great and increasing synonym databases. Heck, you could even use them to rewrite a resume’ for your job seeking friends.

Which ever one you happen to choose, The Best Spinner or Spin Rewriter, I’m certain you will be elated. Get past the learning curve and you will be impressing yourself. I know I do.
