Fake news sites have been used and embraced by online marketers as a fruitful sales tool. You could have seen a fake news site or two before if you've been browsing the Internet and trying to find product reviews.
The FTC has recently placed a ban on fake news sites. Here's what to learn and what this means for online marketing.
The common signs of a fake news site are either a supposedly legitimate news report video on an item coupled with several supposed icons from big-name and reputable news sources like CNN. These graphics indicate that the merchandise has been featured on these reputable news sources in the past, and the sole reason these fake news sites can display these graphics is if their product truly has been mentioned and featured on these reputable news sites.
The way in which these fake news sites have gotten away with it in the past by just using paid advertising to obtain their product listed on these reputable sites.

That is one of the major ways which these sites have now been able to sneak beneath the radar seemingly playing by the principles as much as this point. However now the FTC has passed a brand new law which forbids the utilization of these sites as a marketing tactic. Several consumers were likely feeling betrayed and tricked until enough of these complained to obtain the Federal Trade Commission's attention.
It won't take lengthy for this to pass into other niches. If you've been using such sites as your landing pages, it could be time for you to search for other options with regards to marketing your products or services.
The FTC has also drop on using outlandish and specific claims or testimonials unless they're absolutely able to be proven. If you've ever visited a weight loss product's page online, you've probably seen what they're talking about. Claims about losing 100 pounds in 3 months and displaying a photo of a thin "after photo" person are just what they're talking about.
