This script was not working for me as of 2008-08-27, I tried the 25% to 30% suggestion and didn't work.
By looking at the script source and the page source of a google search result it seems that the table html tag was changed although I don't know exactly when.
I edited the script and changed the following line:
if (tables[i].getAttribute ("align") == "right"
to:
if (tables[i].getAttribute ("id") == "mbEnd"
and now the script works for me, no more right side ads...

Hope it helps. For an ad free internet...
Cheers.

Edit: Leave the width at 30%!!!

To make this script work, you have to click Edit in the Greasemonkey config, then change the test for "width = 25%" to 30%. This makes the side ads, at least, go sayonara. I can't verify whether the top links are gone or not because none of my searches seem to trigger them to show up.

As of 5-6-07 I can not get this script to work. Google must have changed their coding as the sponsored links still show.

Well, I don't know about Froogle, as I may have used that aspect of Google twice in my life, but in terms of standard search results, the script works great! I'm rating this a 5.

Nevermind, I found the links you were talking about. I guess my search patterns are too obscure to warrant sponsors. Script is updated to handle the top links too.

Hmm, I do not get any sponored links at the top, no matter what I try to search for. Where exactly are they supposed to appear?

Well, it works great - on the side-sponsored links! :^)

The sponsored links up on the top of the real results, still appear however >.>
