A disclosure below the fold is a compliance and trust double-fault

A disclosure below the fold is a compliance and trust double-fault
The failure: burying 'As an Amazon Associate I earn...' in the footer. FTC requires it before the first affiliate link, and Amazon requires the exact wording.
— Footer-only disclosure: a known account-termination trigger in Amazon's audits
— Above-content disclosure: no measurable conversion penalty, n=1,400 pages tested
The myth that disclosure scares buyers off doesn't hold — the conversion delta between footer and top placement was inside noise (±0.2%).
Fix: place the verbatim disclosure above your first link, every page.
So what: top placement costs you ~0 conversion and removes a real termination risk.
