Along comes Google and says we will label our paid results. You can trust our search. That was it. Search engine supremacy was decided. And the beemoth that is Google was born.

I understand but it's still pretty fraudulent.

If you go to a company trading stocks they aren't supposed to be allowed to suggest you to buy some trash stock just because some company paid them to.

Search results aren't supposed to be bought and paid for imo

at least put all the "ad" results in yellow or off to the side to let people know that your a whore.

Actually, it is fine if the company discloses that it was paid to recommend that stock. You can then decide if you want to do business with that firm or not.

Yea, but you know they don't.

If they were honest about it there wouldn't need to be a rule about it.
