    This would only be worthy of comment if it were actually worrying. ie if a given company's pages were ranked higher due to payments to google rather than doc relevance.


    Given that it isn't the case, this isn't worthy of comment.


    Hold on! I've commented! Damn!

    I don't care how they make money. I don't care if every search is just one big 'ol ad. As long as I can find what I'm looking for, I just don't give a damn how they make money. If Google start sucking, I'll stop use it.
