Q4 Disclosure Checklist Before Traffic Peaks
Not financial advice. Verify claims independently.
Holiday traffic amplifies compliance mistakes — run this checklist before CPC bids rise.
Q4 is when finance affiliate traffic spikes and when enforcement desks pay attention. Before you scale:
Disclosure
- On-page: clear language near the first CTA, not buried in a footer.
- Video: verbal mention in the first 30 seconds plus a matching description line.
- Shorts/Reels: spoken disclosure still matters even when character counts are brutal.
Tracking hygiene
- Confirm S2S or first-party click IDs survive KYC multi-day journeys.
- Ban cookie-stuffing partners from your media kit — networks are already nervous.
Creative claims
- No invented EPS or "guaranteed" returns.
- Earnings-week hooks (Micron Wed AMC, Nike/Accenture Thu) work when they educate; they break when they hype.
