I think the future may hold a major lawsuit over images and non-disclosure of affiliate links.

In their defense they could say I waived that right when I signed up. Goes back to the saying "when something appears too good to be true, it probably is" .... sigh!

I have also blogged on this as well. It’s good to know that affiliate link disclosure is expected under the FTC as of December 1, 2009 and very disappointing that Pinterest make no such disclosure. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) clarified and updated their guidelines regarding deceptive advertising. For all the official details, read:

One of my readers has been updating us. There was an article in the blog section of the New York Times yesterday about Pinterest and links – so the questionable practises (if there are any) have hit the big time news. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/07/is-pinterest-already-making-money-quietly/

With so much interest in sharing via Pinterest, does it bother you that many others (aka Affiliates of Pinterest) are making money the more you Pin. I barely understand how this is done but I'm pretty sure it's all going to come out soon starting with http://mashable.com/2012/02/08/pinterest-affiliated-links/

1. Go to this site, choose which one of the red Follow Me images you want, and copy the code for it. http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/

2. Then, go to your widgets > Appearance > Widgets and select a text widget.http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

3. Paste the Pinterest follow button code into the text widget, "save" the widget, "close" the widget and place it where you want it to display in your sidebar.
