Pssst.... advertisers...I have a secret to tell you. You know that little feature we invented called a Disclosure Badge? The one that easily enables graphical in-post disclosure? The one that we highly recommend that every advertiser use? The one that is FREE!?! Turns out that little button could hold the key to up to a 200% increase in clicks.
You heard right. Not only can a Disclosure Badge increase transparency and build trust, including a Disclosure Badge in your opportunity can lead to much higher return on investment. It's a smart move, which is why we include Disclosure Badges on every sponsored post we buy from our own marketplace. We track our own clicks on Disclosure Badges separately and have found that this medium consistently ranks in the top 10 out of the tens of thousands of online sources that drive traffic to our site.
Get with the program and start generating more clicks. Choose the free Disclosure Badge option when creating your Opp.

I noticed that more and more advertisers are opting for SITE WIDE disclosure and prevents posties from having an in post disclosure. I hope with this revelations, they would opt for in post disclosure.

Paid posting is one of the few good tools seo's have left. The more Pay Per Post does that makes paid posters stand out from any other bloggers (like adding badges and buttons), the easier it will be for Google to detect them and discount their links.
So yes, Remington is dead on, and this is a really bad idea.
