How Google Search Results Differ from Ads

Unknown - 05:47
When people search on Google for something they want, they find two types of results: search results and AdWords ads. Search results appear as links on search results pages and aren't part of Google's advertising programs. AdWords ads appear under an "Ads" label and may be placed in several locations around the free search results.
Highlighting ads and search results on Google
1. AdWords ads
  • Where they appear: Typically along the edge of the page (like the top, side, or bottom)
  • How they’re matched: Google matches ads to a person’s search based on how closely the search matches your keywords and campaign settings
  • How they’re ordered: Ads are ordered based on a combination of cost-per-click (CPC) bid and relevance
If you're not already an AdWords advertiser but would like to show ads here, you can sign up on the AdWords homepage.
2. Search results
  • Where they appear: Usually on the middle of the page
  • How they’re matched: Google matches sites to a person’s search using information like text on the page and links to that page
  • How they’re ordered: Results are ordered on the page based on things like relevance to the search term and popularity
In addition to links to webpages, you may also see relevant results on a map that lists local business locations, contact information, and driving directions. Google’s search results are independent of Google’s advertising programs.
