What did you expect? The VAST majority of people who type "london hotels" are looking to BUY a hotel room in London for the night.

Try a search like "Albert Einstein". No ads.

Are you doing research on hotels in London? Then you'll need to add some more keywords. Google Search is not setup specifically for London hotel researchers.

What's you point?

And extremely expensive ads are the only way to help users???? The advertiser and Google don't have the user's interests in mind.

>>Then you'll need to add some more keywords. Google Search is not setup specifically for London hotel researchers. Of course not, because this was is more profitable to Google. They'll change the setup and display to increase their profits when necessary.
