Sponsored Links vs Related Pages ads

Anyone else notice the two sets of ads?

On the right side of my email I see a column of ads. The top 3 ads are Sponsored Links and the next 4 are Related Pages. All ads are set such that they all look like adwords but it's obvious that sponsored links are paid clicks and related pages are natural search results. The sponsored links go through:
[pagead2.googlesyndication.com...]
and the related pages go through
[pagead2.googlesyndication.com...]
Seeing related pages go through googlesyndication.com lead me to believe related pages were some type of new paid clicks but it seems google is just using the same tracking servers for 'related pages' links.

I find that related pages is a very good addition. I love finding related pages, it's almost like your own private search engine in each email.
