sponsored links
Paid search results
Sponsored links are advertisements displayed alongside search results or web content, paid for by advertisers who want visibility when users search for related terms.
They're typically labeled "sponsored" or "ad" to distinguish them from organic results.
The term acknowledges that someone paid for the placement: The first three results were sponsored links for competing hotels.
