> it's weird to see a DDG ad top result and DDG organic and google will never introduce an option to not show an ad if you 're the first result anyway.

  I generally click the organic result for companies I like, and click the ad for companies I don't like. No idea if it matters.

    Google earns money anyway

      Do they get money just for placement? I actually thought they got money for clicks. Although in that case it's entirely possible that my reaction is exactly the wrong way around: Google will probably be more likely to place the ad that gets clicks than the one that doesn't.

        it depends on how you setup the ad. Conversions/ Clicks/ Impression etc.
