They're shown on news sites, intentionally worded and configured to look like "related content" sort of headlines.

The same happens in print media, 'Het Financeele Dagblad', the Dutch analogy to the Financial Times had a whole pile of IBM advertising copy in it that was the spitting image of their editorial content.

The article is about news sites which copy articles. The sites that those ads link to are entirely ads with no real news.
