Ah. But here you can actually cost Google money. Google has a relationship with the Mozilla browser. Mozilla contains a window which is default set to Google (you can get plug-ins for literally dozens of other searches, everything from imdb to wikipedia). When that window is used, Google accrues a micropayment to Mozilla, even if you don't click the sponsored links.
So you can take money out of Eric Schmidt's pocket (he has so much he won't miss it), and use it to support quality open source software (meanwhile using a browser that does not create a vector for malware into your system, assuming you use Windows).
And it's all via the free market, and you can still get the Google search results to which you are accustomed... if you like having the first eight or ten items being bogus link farm sites that are run by fraudsters to scam folks, go for it.
And as far as the "sponsored links" that XL mentions... how many of them are actually any use? I had to search for palestinian terrorist Leila Khaled today, and the sponsored links offered to sell me Leila Khaled. No thanks. I've lived in muslim lands, and I understand why they bag their women. I would too... I could never date an Arab chick, I like having the largest moustache in the relationship.

Waaaay back in my early days, circa 1979 I met this gal with golden skin, drop dead gorgeous and eyes, eyes just like the ancient paintings on the tombs of the old pharaohs.
I asked her where she was from and she said she was from Egypt.
No moustasche there, just a 6.2' Goddess looking woman that took my breath away!
I would not lump the Middle East people as Arabs hairy and such;
There are genuine Egyptians, Persians, Assyrians, Mesopotamians still living among the majority of Arabs.
Just call an Iranian...Arab! See what happens!
