Survey Says Internet Users Confuse Search Results, Ads

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the googling-for-yahoos dept.

irishdaze writes "ABC News is reporting that apparently only 18% of adult web searchers can tell the difference between actual search results and advertisements. In addition to this astounding conclusion, the Pew Internet and American Life Project's survey of 2,200 adults (only 1,399 of which are actual internet users, mind you) also indicates that 92% of web searchers feel they are confident in their own searching abilities."

    This answer is the opposite of the reality. This is called sarcasm, and is sometimes used to achieve a 'Funny' effect, but not usually to be 'informative'.
