They are paid results, but they are often not irrelevant especially if you're looking to purchase something.
They're not the best price or necessarily the best vendor, but more often than not they are indeed exactly what you're looking for.
I only ever look for apps by name, and the top results are always different apps than what I typed in, so for me they're completely irrelevant trash.
Ahh I can see that. I'm usually looking for a list of products by class, or a very worst a specific product. I'm going to end up buying it from Target Walmart or Amazon, so that top search result is 1/3 of my research out of the way.
That's just a list of things you should always avoid anyways..
