You'd probably also downvote all the pay-for-placement results on Google's search page now. That would lead to some difficult questions.

- actuator 5y agoYou mean ads? I don't think search results themselves are altered based on payments.
- CRConrad 5y agoDepends. We have trained ourselves to be blind to garish pictures top and bottom, or over to the side... But when the top item in the search results column proper is distinguished from the others only by a laconic "sponsored result" label below it, is that perceived as what we usually call "an ad"? I'd say it's pretty reasonable to call that "pay for placement".
