What is an AD?  Some on this list are well associated with a particular
product or service.  Does that mean everything they post is an AD?  Others
may not be so closely identified with a particular product.  If I mention a
third party product with which I have no fiduciary relationship, is that an
AD?  On the other hand, if I recommend a product that I happen to sell, I
think that pretty clearly qualifies as an AD.

Here are my thoughts:

Unsolicited ads for products or services should clearly be marked as such.

A response to a query, which contains a reference to a product or service,
from the sale of which the responder stands to benefit, should disclose that
fact.

A referral to a third party product or service, where there is no
remuneration to the referrer is simply a referral, not an AD.
