A WebmasterWorld thread is reporting additional sightings of AdWords ads at the bottom of the Google search results page. We have seen reports of this a year ago in 2010 and also back in 2008 and 2005. And now the reports are back and some searchers are seeing ads under the search results.
I cannot see it but here is a picture from last year:
Again, I cannot reproduce this myself but most of those who are seeing it are in the UK.
Do you see it?

Not seen that here in Sweden, at least I haven't yet. Funniest one we have here is on Maps, underneath the map. Talk about squeezing out real estate. Not sure if I've ever seen it on a US/UK SERP? Not that it's easy to notice mind.

Can't see them on a range of searches in UK yet, but am about to talk to Google so will ask if these are planned.

I also saw a similar thing - except there were only 5 organic search results - with 3 paid above, and 3 paid below. Stupidly I missed the screenshot opportunity.

I don't know what the big deal is. Yahoo and Bing have been doing this for a while now.

This might be the reason for Google to remove the search box from the bottom of the Search Results.
