"A system and method for enabling information providers using a computer network such as the Internet to influence a position for a search listing within a search result list generated by an Internet search engine. "
That's Google's entire scheme right there! They use the Internet, they have a system, they're using a computer network, they generate search listings and most importantly they influence the position of the search entries in exactly the manner that that patented algorithm taught them to!

GPS jewels could be useful for (say) your girlfriend.
Of course they would. Girlfriends are always wanting to know where you put your jewels.
