although ads clearly do sell search placement, only that those placements are separate and labelled as ads. although over the years the notice that a result is an ad was made less and less obvious. remember when ad results had a yellow background?
- MereInterest 5y agoWas it just my memory, or were the ads also restricted to the columns to the side of the results, not being within the column containing the results?
- AlbertCory 5y ago> "Was it just my memory" Yes. There were 3 top ads and 7 right-hand-side ones in 2008. The top ones had a colored background to clearly distinguish them from search results. As many others have pointed out, the color's gone, and the ads have run wild.
