Just when you think that advertising couldn't be more in-your-face than it already is, the world takes a turn a little more toward that of futuristic movies, where blank space ceases to exist and is replaced by a growing legion of ads. At least according to this infographic from Wordstream, which shows that clicks on paid search listings beat out organic clicks by a margin of nearly 2:1 in searches with "high commercial intent."
To be fair, organic searches still get more clicks overall, but those distracting little paid ads are gaining ground.

Not necessarily - but the tactics are definitely getting a lot more complicated. Stay tuned! And check out the infographic below.
