I don't think we do monetize it, but am not sure. We just call google.

Title:
  Ads on Ubuntu Docs pages distract users from actual documentation

Status in “ubuntu-docs” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The advertisements on Ubuntu Docs pages are incredibly distracting and
  provide mostly links to help users get Firefox from unofficial sources
  for Windows!

  This is likely the case for many other search terms as well.

  When a user is having trouble we should not be displaying any ads
  (unless in very rare cases they could help - I have found no examples
  of this).
