They have the buyer ready to buy and still missed the sale because they wanted to make a profit on ads. How ironic. And this kind of experience probably turns a lot of buyers off from using Google search.

We don't need your unrelated ads, we already know what to buy, don't patronize us. We need help getting to the product page from keywords. We need real reviews. We need a shopping experience we can trust.

That was the craziest part to me. I was interested in both products and information, and despite deciding it was a good idea to show me almost nothing but ads, they didn't manage to show me anything worth clicking for either purpose. I was practically their ideal target for getting someone to click an ad on purpose, and they still dropped the ball.
