In Puerto Rico at least the sponsored link is to the Free Trial.

Free is GOOD!

I am a bit familiar with Google AdWords, so my guess is that Autodesk guys set the paid ad to be displayed only when the person searching is located in certain geographical areas. They can track that from the IP number you are using.

Not only Autodesk...
There are others offering an alternative to Revit.
