Is Google Second-Guessing Itself?

Times are tight. Heck, college professors are having to sell ad space on exam pages to make up for budget cuts. It would make sense that Google would increase the number of ads on its search pages, too, except it’s hard to forget certain executive speeches about fewer ads with better targeting.

So, reports that Google has upped the number of ads on search result pages by 75 percent might be a little jarring at first. Nicholas Carlson at AdGooroo’s numbers are correct, the number of ads popping up this year reflects a nearly 55 percent spike over last year.
