Forum:Incredibly misleading ad selling

So I haven't viewed Wikia logged out in a while. Now that I have, I've noticed at the bottom of every article is the following for anons:

External Sponsor Links

Click here! Buy a sponsored link and description for your website on this page. Act quickly, the few sponsorship slots sell out fast!

- When I see this, to me, it looks like the individual wiki is selling this space, not Wikia, and that's misleading to anyone browsing the site.

Second, why is this necessary? Is the "Advertise" link on the bottom of ever page not enough? We need 2 "Advertise with us" links on every page, in addition to the 4-5 ads?!

 * Clicking the link would send you to a Wikia page, so a company isn't likely to leave you a talk page message about setting up an ad. Considering that, I have no complaints - it makes money, so it helps keep your content free of charge.
