Here we have Danny Sullivan, who now works at Google, defending Google’s organic, free search results. He said again, Google’s organic results are not influenced by ads, the Google Ad program and also Google Analytics has no influence on Google’s organic results.
Here are his tweets defending Google over the weekend:
No. We have ads. Not every search you do will show ads, however. As for our search results, they are completely independent of our ads. We don’t give advertisers any preference. You can learn more here: https://t.co/O65v1PTehr

Search is completely separate from ads. We don’t use any ads signals in determining the relevance of our search results.

There’s no special assistance or advantage given to advertisers, partners or even other units within Google. They work only with public information. See, for example, this: https://t.co/ChqPblG3Xh

Google Analytics is also separate from Google Search. We don’t make use of that. It wouldn’t make any sense, since not all sites use it. It’s not representative. And we just don’t use any ads signals for search.

It is amazing how many people assume this to be true.
