    Is google turning into an MFA site?
    I did a query for a local vendor and the results page had 2 adsense ad units and 2 local ads units. The page returned only 7 organic links compared to 16 (2+8 adsense 3+3 local ads) sponsored links. Is google using our pages caches just to build its ads filled pages?

    They show what people click on, or what they think people will click on, or what they think YOU (based on previous usage) will click on.

    they are showing 16 links that make them money and only 7 links that their algorithm determined are relevent. That's what they are showing.

    Ads can be relevant too. Often more relevant than an SEO'd page.
