Clearly? Why because they charge membership fees and label ads so users know that they are not written by the org? Trying to determine others intent is unfair. Also look at the FCC decisions regarding labeling ads around results and pages with results. That stuff has to be labelled as advertising unless the ORG writes it. I believe Matt has mentioned the FCC decisions as one of the reasons paid blogging is a problem. So it may be that the Ad label is a positive not a negative.
