It does? I thought the point of SEO was to show up in search results without having to pay for keyword placement.
It's not about the ads on Google.com, but the ads on the SEO sites themselves, those are also served by Google. Ever heard of DoubleClick? That's also Google. If Google Search would give you good clean non-commercial sites without ads, they would lose money.
Exactly. Google has an incentive to send you to the most ad infested seo garbage, that just barely answers your search.
