One idea is follow the lead of corps by simply making people check an "I understand" box before being able to read anything on your blog. The check box is of course appended to your lengthy disclosure statement detailing all your affiliations. No one will actually read it... and eventually people will get used to it - it'll be akin to installing software! :-) Similar to Flexo, I will most likely be placing a very brief bit of info at the bottom of each post if i am affiliated.

One sentence at the bottom of the post should be sufficient. The plan is to tackle any future posts as they come and work on editing the archives as necessary. Lately I've been feeling that these affiliate relationships are not the way to go... so I'll be evaluating them closer and probably dropping a bunch.
