Amazon is also a store, but they have sponsored listings that get preferential placement. Not technically ads, but very similar idea...

here's the kicker: amazon sells their own product at the public market owned by amazon, undercutting any other seller on near-exact things.

imagine if valve made knockoffs of every famous game and just redirected every search to them.
