The customer didn't know the difference - he congratulated me on getting my site to the top of Google.

You know, I completely forgot about that segement. Most of the time I just assume that everyone knows the difference between organic and sponsored search results. I always look at the organic before going to the paid ads. I DO click on those ads when I can't find what I am looking for in the normal SER. I guess when I formed this thread, I was interested in the ads as they appear on websites. This brings up a whold new question.
