German Google shows sponsored links. Just wondering what’s the logic behind them. I googled for Windows i18n function GetDateFormat, and got these ads:

I’m sure someone looking for GetDateFormat, will want to get a date, but it’s not get date as in fun, it’s rather GetDate() as in function. So why was it that GOOG didn’t meet the analysts’ expectations?
