Why isn't Google suffering a backlash and lost share due to this http://digitalgrowth.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/googl... ? I cannot use them without ad blockers, I suppose I'm not the only one ;)
Try a search like "Albert Einstein". No ads.
Are you doing research on hotels in London? Then you'll need to add some more keywords. Google Search is not setup specifically for London hotel researchers.
The VAST majority of people who type "london hotels" are looking to BUY a hotel room in London for the night.
And extremely expensive ads are the only way to help users???? The advertiser and Google don't have the user's interests in mind.
>>Then you'll need to add some more keywords. Google Search is not setup specifically for London hotel researchers. Of course not, because this was is more profitable to Google. They'll change the setup and display to increase their profits when necessary.
The ones that pay 5% of the booking price to kayak.
Face it, without commercial incentives you'd never get accurate pricing, making finding the cheapest hotel VERY hard. Finding a 5% cheaper hotel costs me the better part of the day, and that will generally be worth far more than the 5% of the price that I might save (ie. 15-20 bucks). Also, sites like kayak may not get volume pricing, but they do seem to get lower prices than I can get myself.
