Checks for affiliate and sponsored content disclosures

## Solution

FTC requires clear disclosure of affiliate relationships and sponsored content. Disclose at the top of pages with affiliate links, not just in footer. Use clear language: 'We earn commissions from purchases' or 'This post is sponsored.' Create a dedicated disclosure page and link to it. Failure to disclose can result in penalties.
