Now that you mention that, does anyone else find it incredibly scummy that Google shows ads for a company, leading to the company&#x27;s website, above the first result, which is <i>also the company&#x27;s website</i> when I search for something like the company name?<p>The ad is minimally distinguished from the content, and most users don&#x27;t care anyway, they&#x27;ll click the top result and cost the company money that they could have saved if Google didn&#x27;t present that ad there.<p>I guess, however, that the alternative is an ad for Bar, Inc appearing above Foo, Inc when you search for &quot;foo, inc&quot;. In that case, it feels like extortion (&quot;if you want us to show your website first when users search for you, buy the ad&quot;).
