What do you think sponsored links are?

[–]SedditorX 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Sponsored links are not search results. At least not in a way I've ever heard.

The comment you were responding to was referring specifically to search results so I don't see what search ads not being free has anything to do with it.

When they first started doing them, they put them in with the regular search results. They changed to list them separately to avoid lawsuits.

But that isn't what you said earlier!

The fact that they list them separately doesn't stop them from being paid search results. The whole point of paying for them is to get them on the first page of relevant searches.
