This is just on the first page. Shouldn't this kind of threads go in the Marketplace or maybe on a new Businesses subforum?

In defense of some them, they can be very relevant to the success of Bitcoin as a whole. A post in the main discussion is warranted in a lot of cases. I argue that banning all announcements would be to the detriment of the forum as whole.

Moved some of them, only the easy decision ones because I'm too tired to think hard right now.

Report topics like these. I don't usually pay attention to these things unless someone reports them.

[ANNOUNCE] Bitcoin Fog: Secure Bitcoin Anonymization

bittit - Sell your pictures for Bitcoins

These are very innovative new services, so I'm not going to move them unless I get several reports. (And if some other moderator moves them I'm not going to move them back.)

OKPAY accepting bitcoin as a deposit method

This one definitely belongs in Bitcoin Discussion, as it is related to the entire ecosystem.

The other topics you listed have been moved.
