If we consider a notion that ‘clean’ SERPs = good user experience, and that too good a SERP = bad advertiser experience and that bad advertiser experience = low revenues, then we can begin to at least appreciate some of the reasons why sites that offer a poor user experience are allowed to thrive.

I agree with some of this, but I have to disagree with:

Why does a perfect SERP have to be a bad advertiser experience? Not every search is informational. Sometimes *gasp* people are actually looking for a company to buy from. The problem isn't that we (as advertisers) have to contribute to a poor user experience in order to make money, it's that we want a quick payoff, and the easiest way is through these types of things. Oh, and just because something is idealist doesn't mean it's wrong.
