Per definition an Advertisement is a paid message. The advertiser pays the website owner for publishing the ad.

Ads appear in various different forms such as plain text messages (see definition Classified Ad), graphics (banner ads) as well as audio and/or video ads.

Online ads always contain a link which directs the user to the advertiser’s website.

Advertisements do not count as page content.
