Microsoft was caught testing way too many ads on its Bing Search results page. I saw 9 ads and only two organic/free listings on the page for a query on [garage door repair].

    I just turned off my adblocker and can’t get a single ad on Bing no matter what I try. The link there has zero ads for me.

    I did look at the article, and I don’t understand how those can be classified as ads, but I don’t even get those either anyway.

    Edit: what I do get:

    • an ai-generated box giving some general advice (with sources)
    • links to guides on how to do it
    • websites of companies which deal with garages
    • several videos on how to do it
    • websites of car repair companies because it ran out of local garage repair ones and has to fill in more related links
    • websites of general repair shops
    • a list of related searches to try

    None of those are ads.
