How does Sky.com and Investing.com meet the acceptable ads criteria?

Not labeled “advertising”.
Eye catching images- girls in bikinis!
Suggestive titles.
Taking-over 75% of the page.

Examples:
Investing.com: http://postimg.org/image/84dpqvpgd/
Sky News: http://postimg.org/image/x935e217h/

So much for practicing what you preach!

I'm afraid we're facing a filtering issue here.

The "promoted by" label is considered sufficient to recognize those ads as such. As per Sky, Outbrain ads should be blocked there. It seems that an unrelated rule unblocked too much there. We will tackle this ASAP. Thanks.
