    It is an ad, and also a really shitty practice to display it exactly like it was the first result of your research.

        It was designed to blend in with the search results. It’s the same shitty design as the sponsored results appearing like they were the first few results of your Google or Bing search, or ads appearing as unread emails in Gmail or Hotmail.
