G started ads back in 2000 or maybe even in 1999.
I think AltaVista pioneered ads on search results pages. Hope you get A+
for this ;-)

Galaxy is an old one. I think older than Alta Vista, but I am not for sure
as I haven't looked it up. A simple query might be helpful about the
"history of the internet and search engines."(hint, hint):-)

If you are refering to the text ads you get on the right these are adwords
and they have been here for a while!
There are some other kind of ads that Google is testing (I guess) and these
appear only for certain keywords on top.
