From someone who has worked in the publishing industry for more years than I care to remember, I have to say that some of the guidelines should be included in print publication. I have forgot the amount of times for print publications that i have had to write something nice just because our advertising department have said a company has paid good money for ad editorial.

Google isn't going to endorse either of those tactics. Heck, they even just reinforced that if you have any advertorial content on your news site you need to make sure that's not in your site map or they may not index our news site at all.

However, people are free to write whatever they want online. Google isn't the police, but if you want to be included in Google, you need to follow their rules.

Once you leave Moz there is a lot of bad advice out there.

Don't do this stuff.

I think that Keri is talking about nice advertorial that gets loaded with a ton of spammy links.

It's not about the quality of the content.  It's what people are trying to use it for.  (Getting your site to vote for their site in ways that Google doesn't approve.)
