How To Make A Sitewide Disclosure Policy
If you decided to make money online with the paid to post model, then you need to know that more and more, the advertisers require a sitewide disclosure policy, rather than an in-post disclosure. That’s because also advertisers are afraid of being caught by Google that they buy links, and get de-indexed. And this is true: if Google catches either you or the advertiser doing these paid reviews, your site will lose the PR and eventually it will end up de-indexed, so it won’t show in the search results not even for it’s own name.
However, if you still want to make some money by writing paid posts, you’ll have to add a disclosure policy page to your blog. This is one way of getting it done quickly:
Go to www.disclosurepolicy.org. You’ll see there the option of generating your own policy. If you click it, you’ll be taken through a 6 steps questionnaire, at the end of which you’ll obtain your disclosure policy page. Once you get it, you can customize it as you wish, directly on the DisclosurePolicy.org website.
If you do it, you’d better not forget to include the disclosure phrase that Google AdSense recently added as a requirement for sites which display AdSense ads:
Please be aware that this site makes use of cookies and/or web beacons to collect data in the ad serving process.
Then all you have to do is copy the test and paste it into a new page on your blog, entitled Disclosure Policy. Make sure the link to this page is present on the blog’s front page and you’re done.
Don’t forget that blogs you use for writing paid posts are endangered of being punished by Google, so never write paid posts nor sell links that pass PR on your flagship blogs, or on blogs which bring you money from organic traffic. That’s actually the reason why we don’t have a disclosure policy page on EzMoneyOn.Net: we don’t write paid posts that pass PR. When we are paid to review a service or a product, we don’t sell our PR. We only create awareness for that product or service, and we clearly disclose that inside the post.

But if someone does paid reviews, I don’t think they should disclose it.
Doing so will be like telling Google that they’re doing something G doesn’t like and killing themselves.
Isn’t that so?

If you read the terms of service of many pay-to-post networks, you’ll see that disclosure at least at sitewide level is mandatory. And even where it’s not, I think that if you write paid posts and hide this from your readers, you are abusing their trust.
