- ssss11 5y agoOh wow that is ALL ads!
- wodenokoto 5y agoI’m defense of current google results, hardly any of those 2009 results was about toothpaste.
- ricardo81 5y agoIt looks like Google decided the user wanted to search for toothpaste in their 2022 version so showed that version of results, the 2009 version is showing the toothpast results but still thinks the user may have meant toothpaste.
- bpicolo 5y ago“Low prices on toothpast” Ads with text interpolation are hilarious
- axg11 5y agoI’m not sure this is proving the point you want to make. Arguably the 2022 results are more relevant. If you ignore whether the results are ads or not, the top results in 2022 are all toothpaste brands and lead you to toothpaste websites. The way we search has also changed. In 2022, if you’re searching “toothpast”, you’re much more likely to be looking to make an online purchase of toothpaste than in 2009.
- SamBam 5y ago> if you ignore whether the results are ads or not But that *is* the point. They're all they're only because they paid $$$$ to be there, not because they're the best results to be there.
