Navigational searches still display ads. (I'm told)

  A search for "Facebook" currently has no ads for me. Same for "Yahoo". They aren't making a killing on navigational searches.

    Are you sure you're not running adblock? Just did those searches and I see ads.

      Yes, that was in an Incognito window and there were plenty of ads for other SERPs. It's Google so it would vary based on tons of factors (user agent, location, if I have a cookie, etc etc).

  That doesn't matter if people don't click them. If someone is doing a navigational search they're overwhelmingly likely to click the first result. The amount of revenue navigational searches generate compared to all other searches must be negligible.
