Sponsored content isn't always purely an advertisement. Sometimes it provides helpful information. (Keep an eye out on the web for articles that have "Sponsored" indicator above or below them -- they are more numerous than you might think!)
However, portraying a vendor-biased take as neutral is a mistake that discredits a site. Embedded advertising -- where a blogger, for example, promotes a product within a blog post because he or she is paid to do so -- is a common practice that does not inspire confidence.
