Google AdWords
 

Are the paid results showing on top of the regular results (not on the right side) still AdWords or are they something else?

They are not AdWords ads.

So what are them?

Yes, they are AdWords.

same as the ads on the right

And do they appear there automatically when you have an hi-bid or do you have to select something?

i pay 1 dollar per click

So they are adwords that cost $1 per click?

If you're the top bidder for that keyword and you have a high CTR and Google thinks you're sexy then you'll get those sweet spots.

Interesting...
