Sometimes they are truly what the user is looking for. A smart web searcher knows that the sponsored links are more likely to link to someone selling something - they have to be making money somehow to pay for the links - and when the searcher wants to buy something it makes the sponsored link a <em>better</em> option then the organic result. I am guessing that you don't use Google to find a high quality product to buy, but are looking for a "good enough" free alternative. That is fine. But not everyone is like you. Some people want to buy a high quality product and view the company's willingness to pay for his attention a sign they are serious. Hi Dan,

I never click on them, in fact, I barely even look at them. Are people really that stupid to not understand the difference between a paid link and a real results?
