site of an advertiser is a marketing communication tool over which the
advertiser has a reasonable degree of control and could be considered to
draw the attention of
a segment of the public to a product in a manner calculated to promote
or oppose directly or indirectly that product. The Board determined that

content generated by the advertisers as well as material or comments
posted by users or friends.”
