Anyone else seeing this? It started for me last night, most searches do not return sponsored results above the SERPs. I have seen sponsored results on search terms with 500M results, but not on the less competitive terms.

No changes from here in Boston.

No changes noticed. Even keywords with results less than 10,000 come with sponsored links on top.

I checked this on different machines with both FireFox and IE from the Mid-Pacific. I have now gotten sporadic sponsored results showing, usually just 1 sponsor, but on search terms that normally have 2-3 sponsors showing.
74.125.19.99
74.125.19.103
74.125.19.104
64.233.185.99
216.239.59.104
all now show the same situation with sporadic sponsored results on top. I don't know that there's any benefit to following it more closely, so I think I'll just ignore it. :)

Google cookies, logged into Google account or similar. That can influence how AdWords ads are being served.

smallcompany is right. Turn off cookies and logout of your google account to see the 'real' situation.

I once saw links showing at the BOTTOM of the page.
