I don't have a problem with these really....especially when they put - "This publication is an article advertisement for Easy Google Profit." - right at the top of the page.

No offense, but anyone with about half a brain realizes this isn't a real news article in about 2.7 seconds.....at the most.

The actual advertising used here isn't a problem here with me....however if they are scamming people with these continuity programs and credit card charges these people can never cancel like many of these offers are....well...that is a problem.

Advertorials like this have been around for DECADES in newspapers and magazines, so it's not like this is an earth-shattering idea. Just someone smart enough to finally take a proven technique from the past and apply it to the internet. Something to be learned from there as well, I think.....
I fail to see how it is a scam on continuity when right there in LARGE letters, large on my screen at least, it says that YOU WILL BE BILLED 39.95, PLUS 9.95 AND ANOTHER 7.95 IF YOU DO NOT CANCEL WITHIN 7 DAYS...how is that scamming? Anyone with any sense would not use their actual credit card, maybe use a pre-paid card or something. But, anytime someone writes, in your face, we are taking your money, and you call it a scam, i find that kind of unfair.

I assume you are referring to the site mentioned by the person who started this thread?

In which case, bear in mind that the site is now very different to how it looked when this thread was started. Perhaps the owner of the flog /farticle site got a letter from the FTC about compliance, perhaps their url was widely published, or whatever - who knows.
But the way it looks now is not how it looked before. If you want to see some screenshots of how it looked before there are screenshots of it and other similar fake news sites at the following blogs:
