- jgreen10 11y agoWhy?
- corndoge 11y agoAgreed. Clicking advertisements encourages advertising. Google's actual results are far more relevant than any paid placed advertisement anyway.
- wongarsu 11y agoClicking advertisements also helps to pay for the service you are using for free. In the case of google search the ads don't significantly diminish the product, so I'm happy to give google a bit of ad revenue.
- wang_li 11y ago>Clicking advertisements also helps to pay for the service you are using for free. Yeah, well, I'm part of the 47% in this situation.
- thetrb 11y agoSame here. I "trust" the Google algorithm to show me the most relevant search results first, but know that ads are not part of that ranking. So if I'm looking for the most relevant result I'm clicking on the first results after the ads.
