Hello, I‘m interested in Stockholm to Prague. I was not able to locate the advertised trip from Stockholm to Prague with train from €18.90. Can you kindly help me locate it?

What is the URL of this page? And what browser/operating system was used? Because it doesn't look like the page I can see.
In your first screen grab it gives a folder tree "http://rail.cc > tag > Stockholm till Prag med tag" but mine shows "Home > tågbiljetter > Stockholm till Prag med tag". Mine then has all the same words as yours but without any price quote.
Anyway it isn't marketing because rail.cc is only intended as advice, often from other travellers which hasn't been updated in years.

Hi. This is the url https://rail.cc/train/stockholm-to-prague. It's in chrome, I used a dark mode plugin, hence why it doesn't looks darker that the actual page.
"In your first screen grab it gives a folder tree "http://rail.cc > tag > Stockholm till Prag med tag" but mine shows "Home > tågbiljetter > Stockholm till Prag med tag". Mine then has all the same words as yours but without any price quote."
Do you mean the google ad you see doesn't have price quote? Ok, well that's not what I saw.
Fine.

I dont know what ticket rail.cc means but its definitly not possible for 18,90€ , just the ticket from Stockholm to Hamburg cost min. 56,90€ (which would be the SuperSparpreis) and the ticket from Hamburg would also cost min. 18,90€ , but keep in mind that price can get more expensive as later you book . Also this connection wouldnt be possible on one day , so you must plan with extra hotel costs or you take the nightrain but that would be cost by far more 120€ at all .

You mean this was shown by a Google Ad first? That's probably something else that's been fogotten about and running years out of date.
But of you start at https://rail.cc/sv and enter Stockhom and Prague you get https://rail.cc/sv/tag/stockholm-till-prag which has the same words as what you have in the forst screen grab but no prices.
But you should understand that "från" is Swedish for "from" (or "ab" in German) and in any language for any railway or airline it's the lowest you might find and rarely what you will find! Misleading? yes if you believe what you see in ads, but most of us read it the other way as don't expect anything cheaper.
