Blog Disclaimers come on all shapes and sizes. You may see a huge ten page long disclaimer on one site and then on another site you may see a very short one page disclaimer. Which one do you think is the better, the website with the long disclaimer or website with the short disclaimer? Actually they might both be OK. It all depends on the kind of internet business you are conducting and that is what dictates the appropriate disclaimers.

Some sites are only for personal information. They use their blog like a diary. They are not selling anything, but their words could potentially endorse something they used or referred to a friend. Now in most cases that would not get someone in trouble, but if your blog has a lot of traffic, you could potentially run into legal problems. In this case a short version of a blog disclaimer is appropriate.

Most bloggers that don’t sell anything usually find a good disclaimer on someone’s site and grab it for their own. They are content with the wording and really have no need to monitor the changes in the law.

Now for those people that sell something online, marketers, affiliates, advertisers, etc. If you are conducting some kind of business, you need a disclaimer that matches your own business model. It is extremely reckless to go about business without this kind of protection. The costs versus having to go through a lawsuit or fines from the FTC are worth the effort.

Disclaimers are one of the most important parts of your online business. They are definitely needed and should also be part of your business plan. Update your disclaimers on a quarterly basis to ensure compliance. The laws change often and so should your disclaimers to match those important changes.
