Q: Why are ads now showing in search results? Can we turn them off?

Hi Rahul,
I bought this deal a few years ago and have been using SearchIQ on my site with no problems for a few years. However, I just noticed that search results show a sponsored ad at the top? I don't know how long that has been the case (I hadn't tested search on my site in a while).
Is there going to be an option to disable that (as we are LTD customers, and it was not mentioned anywhere on this sales page)?
Or will there be an option to add our details to share some of that revenue?

Hi Rahul,
The website is https://myprojectlessons.com/
The ads show in the search, before you press enter. They come from Ad.net

I confirm the ads have been removed from my site. But it would be good to see more comment from you on why this happened.

I asked the same question, and Rahul informed me that they are obligated to put ads on any website they please because it is in their terms and conditions hidden somewhere. I was surprised that he responded with this message.
