			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey everyone.  Today&#8217;s post is a bit of a downer in some ways.  Some might consider it a good thing though.  Basically, the FTC just issued some new rules that are going to have a HUGE impact on the way we do Internet marketing.  It doesn&#8217;t just affect fake blogs either.  It also has a huge impact on anyone who uses testimonials.</p>
<p>To be honest, there are a bunch of unscrupulous marketers out there who need to get a kick in the pants, and these rules provide just that.  On the other hand, there are other marketers who have integrity, and these new regulations are certainly going to make things a bit more difficult for them as well.</p>
<p>Anyway, without further ado, instead of typing my own post outlining what is going on, I&#8217;ll just forward you to Frank Kern&#8217;s blog where he did a pretty decent job of summarizing what the FTC has cooked up for Internet marketers.  Check it out.  <a href="http://masscontrolsite.com/blog/?p=59">FTC Declares Shenanigans On All Kinds Of Stuff! </a></p>
