I'm with you John Meussner; I always scroll down past the paid ads to the organic results.  I dont know why, I think it's because I think that I will get bombarded with junk mail or ads on line.

Depends on the results - since I don't use G as my search engine I get better results on Bing  - even the first 4 orgranic spots on G are no longer organic for the big keywords - it's all ppc these days - where as I find Bing still to be more relevant than G and I find more small businesses there as well which is my prefeffed method of doing business

Yes I do as well, unless the paid ad is one I was actually looking for. Many of the paid ads lead to another search engine so whats the point in that?
