It's a nice list for search engine providers.

Perhaps DDG could low-light results that include companies that have paid-blogging programs?

"Caution: the quality of these pages might be low because $CORP pays bloggers to promote them"

Advocacy tracking/detection/whatever would be a great feature for ddg.
