Google is removing right side paid ads in SERP – Adwords Shake-up
Yes this is confirmed. No more right side paid ads. Changing SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) and its structure is not new but google always remain reluctant in making any change in the SERP until there is a valid reason.
For us just wait for few months to see another news but experts have different opinions:
