Sometimes, Google also displays advertisements or sponsored links with the search results. The ads and sponsored links can appear at the top and right of the results.

A dead link is a link to a web page without any content. Sometimes when you click a dead link, an error message appears.

A web page could be dead because its web address has changed, or because the page is no longer being maintained or updated.

When a result from a search is a dead link, it's a good idea to go back to the list of your Google search results and try another link. You'll learn about the Back button soon.
