For advertisers, the goal is to drive more traffic to your website. For consumers, the goal is to find websites relevant to what the search term was. As a consumer, not many care whether they see an organic search result or paid search result. Many may not even know the difference.
As an advertiser, if you’re going to buy non relevant keywords, then you must have a big budget but generally speaking, it will be relevant keywords so paid search placements are generally more guaranteed and higher CTR, especially on mobile as well.
