What is the difference between advertorial and advertising?

Answer:
In the simplest terms, an advertorial is an advertisement that disguises itself as an editorial. The word advertorial is a combination of the words 'advertisement' and 'editorial'.

Advertorials commonly advertise new products, techniques, or services, for example: a new design for golf equipment or a new way of applying make-up.

Advertorials are usually published in magazines and newspapers and are purposely designed to look like legitimate articles. However, they really are advertisements looking to promote and sell the product.
