Adding a Privacy Policy to your Build a Niche Store Site

Virginia recently asked if I could be a bit more detailed on how to add the privacy policy to a Build a Niche Store site.

The short video below walks through the process from start to finish. The code for adding the link to your footer file is:

<a href=http://www.mydomain .com/privacy-policy>Privacy Policy</a>

Note: I placed a space between mydomain and .com to avoid it being converted into a url on this page. You want to change the domain portion to your website and the /privacy=policy portion to your exact privacy policy page.

Also – DO NOT BLOCK this in your htaccess file! Google-Bot wont find it and will just assume you dont have a policy!

    Thanks so much Mark. Now that I see what you did, it is really clear. I had never used the part about turning off the page and I didn’t see how you got the link to be at the bottom of the page. Now it does seem obvious and like I should have thought of it myself…..

    But I never would have, so THANKS!

    Good reminder for those using adsense on their sites. No need to tempt fate and threaten that account. I personally use a very quick method – put a privacy policy link to my templates and add a little php file to my skeleton BANS site that automagically fills in the details I want.

    Sean -

    Thanks for the tip! I had actually considered using a single file on one host and calling it from all sites… that way, one change file would encompass all sites at once.

    BTW – I LOVE the look of your blog! What is the social network plugin you are using for the bookmarking on each post?

    Thanks again,

    Mark

    Yeah, I really like the forte theme as well. Those social bookmarks didn’t come from any plugin actually — they’re built into the theme as a simple file include on single posts.

    Hey Mark.
    Thanks once again. Can you show how you created the gmail account – specifically for the privacy email, along with the filters?

    Thanks.
