Yeah, I didn’t want to bring this up, and IANAL… but as it currently stands I’m wondering if this isn’t a violation of the US FTC rules for display ads because it deceptively misleads users into thinking it’s the top search result without clearly declaring it’s an advertisement.

In fact heck, we should require that ALL advertisements distributed in plugins and themes through .org include “This is an advertisement” language on the ad/notice/banner.
