There is in souls a sympathy with sounds:
And as the mind is pitch'd the ear is pleased
With melting airs, or martial, brisk or grave;
Some chord in unison with what we hear
Is touch'd within us, and the heart replies.
~William Cowper

You bring up an interesting point. It is plausible that many of the people who click on the ads in Google don't necessarily think of them as ads. Google has tried to walk a careful line with simultaneously delineating them and having them blend in with the look-and-feel of the overall page.I think Google's original ambitions were to try to make advertising more useful to Internet users of all kinds. But that is clearly a high bar... and one that could probably use more attention in the industry.
