Lying Google advertising, or Google uses Adblock in its ads

It&#x27;s not like this is hard to check. Set the custom date range, and do the query yourself:<p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=oldest+sweet+shop+near+mochi+gate+lahore&amp;tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A%2Ccd_max%3A10%2F23%2F2013" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?q=oldest+sweet+shop+near+mochi...</a><p>No ads shown. If you want to be sensationalist, then please start by trying to be accurate.

If you take the original idea of the search shown in the ad, and reformat it to look like a rather ordinary search query, you get this:<p><a href="https://www.google.com/#q=biggest+candy+store+near+Austin%2C+TX" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;#q=biggest+candy+store+near+Austin%2C...</a><p>Not using ad-block, you can see some of the ads OP is referring to.

I wonder how this affected the value of buying ads for the keywords used in the google campaign...<p>Currently it appears there are &#x27;no ads&#x27; there, but could there be if you bought keyword ads?

Is the image displayed just an ancient one? I forgot about that sidebar on the right, and I can&#x27;t replicate that or get the black bar on the top outside of Google Translate.

I&#x27;ve tried &quot;oldest pub in limerick&quot; and it gives me no ads, but it has a google map box on the right side, not sure if it counted as an ad.
