Thanks for the extra tips. Just remember though that every plugin you add to your wordpress blog slows it down

Another plugin that excludes pages from the menu and works really well is Page Link Manager. It is available in the WP plugins area (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-link-manager/)

There is also a plugin – Easy Privacy policy that will build the whole page for you with a Google approved wording.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I was really nervous about adding a Privacy Policy page. I tried it once, and my site instantly became garbage. Someone at the Warrior Forum was kind enough to fix it for me, no charge. It turned out my “Redirection” plugin was the culprit.

I got rid of the plugin, followed your directions, and it’s working perfectly!

Thanks for this post. I installed the privacy page plugin followed by the exclude pages plugin.

Because I do want a link to the privacy page, I included a simple HTML link in the footer. Easy. Took all of ten minutes.

It’s all part of the Firestats plugin.

What’s the plugin you’re using to have the country, os, and browser automatically appear beside the post called?

The FTC also likes clear and conspicuous terms. This means that they don’t want it where someone will not easily find it… like at the very bottom of a page. Chances are they will read the content and then hopefully take the action or an action that you want them to take without going to the bottom of the page to see if there is a privacy policy on your page.
For instance, if you have a signup form on your page for an email list or a contest entry they want the tos/privacy policy of that list or contest right underneath the enter email box so that it is clear and conspicuous…they don’t want it somewhere the consumer is unlikely to notice it.

They will however in most cases I assume be happy with a privacy policy on every page even if it is at the bottom of the page. If you were a bigger company I’d certainly advise you to be more conspicuous with the privacy policy/tos link.

It’s not the indexing that’s the problem (easily sorted as you suggest), it’s the anchor from your other pages to it. Just having that link on every page (even no followed) reduces the overall value of your other links. So you need a Privacy Policy but linking to it impacts the other links on your site. Using this approach allows you to link to it using a followed link and have some of that link juice flow back to your other pages.
