Lying Google advertising, or Google uses Adblock in its ads
themilehighview.wordpress.comDo you see any ads if you search for oldest sweet shop near mochi gate lahore? I don't.
I also don't get any if I search for nipplegate, for example.
You see, those ads depend on the used search terms. If no one bids on those words, you won't see any ads.
Sadly the Wikipedia entry is now pushed down to page two for me. I have a bunch of HATEFUL USELESS NEWS ARTICLES filling my first page.
I know how to search for news. I include [news] in the search terms, or I clicky the news button.
I wish there was an easy way to set Google searches to search for things older than one month by default.
Here's how Google displays "pizza" to me: http://imgur.com/9nUfmEi
* Ads are clearly marked. * Google, please don't take away the near-me recommendations. * Google, please don't take away the map. * Google, the wikipedia-like excerpt is helpful; please don't stop doing that. If I wanted to wikipedia the article, I would have asked wikipedia (or "!w pizza" with my browser shortcut).
I dont think Google is lying in this particular case. There are no ads what so ever for that search when I tried it out.
If we really want to get on the conspiracy train. Perhaps Goggle turned off ads for that specific search phrase.
I'm gently surprised that no-one has bid for them yet.
How would they fairly choose what ads to place?
They could show the natural ones for the result of that search in India. (Perhaps that particular search results in no ads anyway? Who knows.)
I don't see any adds for that search result, though the results are now tainted by news articles about that ad and that particular search.
Just to derail the conspiracy train, when I try other searches of the same type, such as "oldest bar in philadephia", I get no ads as well. I would not expect ads for a search that unique.
