I've noticed an increase in the number of irrelevant hits - I have to go deeper into the pages to find better hits. Here's an interesting article on the topic:

Subject: Changes to Google
Is it just me, or has Google gone over to the Dark Side? When I have
searched Google recently (since the IPO hit the news), my Google results
pages start with a full page of sponsored links, in standard typeface. I
have to go to page 2 for the true search results. Now, the maddening thing
is that the sponsored links page doesn't always show up, just sometimes.
Anyone have an explanation or comment?
