Granted, I could be wrong seeing as how I'm not an employee of Paizo . . . but the reason that there isn't going to be any ads in Pathfinder is that it's a book rather than a magazine.
You wouldn't want an advertisement in the middle of your PHB, or a novel . . . so therefore you shouldn't expect an ad in pathfinder.

And, I think, more importantly, as an advertiser, you don't get a lot of value for that ad. It's not just that people don't want it in a book, it's that advertisers don't see books as an optimal medium for selling their products and won't pay Paizo the cost of printing those pages with their ads.
When was the last time you saw an ad in a book? If they were profitable, you had better believe they would be there, just as they are in the beginning of movies, on bus sides, on benches, etc, etc, etc.
As a side note, inserts (8 1/2 by 5 1/2 cards, pieces of paper, whatever) that are not bound into the book, just inserted in the package are totally okay with me.
