A recent article on ClickZ , although well-written with good intent, is clearly an advertorial for SEMPO.org. As such, links to SEMPO should include a ‘nofollow’ link, and clearly state in the article (or at the end of the article) that Motoko Hunt is a Board Member of SEMPO. There is no proper disclosure.
