I thought Google and Amazon were a pain with all the sponsored search results, but I just searched on “carpenter” on Yelp and got SIXTEEN sponsored results (which on a PC is like 6 pages of crap before the actual listing). Are there enough brain-dead people out there that actually mindlessly fall for the sponsored results for Yelp to seemingly render the site almost useless? Why would anybody pick a sponsored result? I remember a podcast years ago where the head of Google search was interviewed, and she said their internal studies showed the sponsored vendors were the worst.
