How do you handle Disclosures republished by others in non-paid search results, social media, email, or other media?

Disclosures should remain when native ads are republished by others.

Advertisers should maintain disclosures when native ads are republished by others in non-paid search results, social media, email, or other media.  In non-paid search results, consumers are more likely to notice a disclosure if it’s placed at the beginning of the title tag for a native ad’s search listing.  Similarly, URL links for posting or sharing in social media or email should include a disclosure at the beginning of the native ad’s URL.  In some circumstances, native ads for republishing in other media may include other distracting elements such as webpage snippets, images, or graphics.   In placing disclosures, advertisers also should consider how these additional visual elements might influence where consumers look before they click on native ads.
