A Google spokesperson has confirmed to Search Engine Land that the change is now rolling out to all searches in all languages worldwide. Ads will not appear on the right side of desktop search results, but there are two exceptions:

  1. Google’s Product Listing Ad (PLA) boxes
  2. ads that show up in the Knowledge Panel

The PLA box is an ad unit that appears either on the right of the search results page or above the search results; those boxes will continue to show in both places. The Knowledge Panel also appears on the right side of the page and sometimes includes ads.

The additional fourth ad that may show above the search results will only show up for highly commercial queries, according to Google’s official statement on the change:

“We’ve been testing this layout for a long time, so some people might see it on a very small number of commercial queries. We’ll continue to make tweaks, but this is designed for highly commercial queries where the layout is able to provide more relevant results for people searching and better performance for advertisers.”

To clarify, the elimination of right-side ads impacts all desktop searches worldwide; the addition of the fourth ad above search results will happen for “highly commercial queries.” This would involve searches like “hotels in New York City” or “car insurance” and the like No More Ads Shown By Google On Right Side Of Desktop Search Results.

The removal of all right-side ads obviously makes the desktop and mobile search results more similar. On mobile, though, Google typically shows either two or three ads at the top of the search results.
