In other words, an advertorial. When I was in traditional publishing, I fought to set limits to advertorials, but ultimately had to tolerate them. In my liberated state, though, I can finally say it: Advertorials are evil. When I say advertorial , I’m not talking about all sponsored content that appears in a publication. Well, advertorial is like an evil twin, lurking in a vague netherworld between or above or below journalism and content marketing.

Growing your website traffic through your blog is a great thing-- until thinly-veiled advertorials infiltrate your content. Advertorials are an advertisement disguised as an editorial; they are articles that appear to be informational but are actually intended to promote a product or service. The biggest problem with advertorials is that they hurt your company’s credibility and turn away interested website visitors.

Surely one missing element in what we used to call “advertorials” is the absence of a genuine, humanized brand voice. Remember blogging for business? Better still blogging by brands? A great deal of what we now call “content marketing” can be traced back to basic business blogging where a brand built audiences by attracting informed search to valuable, relevant content.

Remember the Advertorial? You can think of the humble advertorial that appeared in magazines and newspapers (back in the day when people actually read magazines and newspapers) as the forerunner of today’s “sponsored content.” The worlds of advertising and editorial, once separated by a metaphorical (if not literal) wall at all media companies, are now blurring in very strange ways.

What does Google think about advertorials, native advertising, and editorial content? An advertorial is another word for a paid editorial written for advertising purposes. The Google webmaster team views advertorials as deceptive when they lack transparency about their marketing intent.
