Same with Sheldon Brown’s website on bicycle maintenance. Much of the information on his site is still the best resource on the internet but instead Google would rather serve irrelevant results that show ads.
Does showing Google Adsense ads actually result in a higher ranking in organic search results?
It makes total sense for their business model, to the detriment of users. I've just never considered that before.
Google Search is aptly named, for finding something relevant and without ads plastering is almost impossible.
Anyway, I am happy with DDG now.
