Change Your Name

I was referring to search results not advertisements. You can pay one fee, like a domain TLD or AOL Keyword, and get that spot. With those advertisements you have to constantly put money in to stay at that spot.

Sadly my parents don't know that the top yellow box is an ad, they think it's the top search result. I expect most people are the same.

Does it really matter, though? If they find what they're looking for, what difference is it if the result was paid or organic?

In most cases the ad is not what they are looking for.

Domain names are also a constant, on-going cost.

While there is an on-going cost (i.e. domain renewals), it is very small compared to the initial payment one might make to acquire a premiere domain.
