This week Google was in the news with a headline about them beginning to crack down on content farms.
I had thought they were already doing that?
Anyways, I have some advice for Google's search algorithm tweakers:
GET RID OF THE WATERMARKED, FOR-SALE IMAGES ATOP THE IMAGE SEARCH RESULTS.
iStockPhoto, Corbis, et al....these image-renters have no business showing up in generic search results.
Rightfully they ought to be placed in a separate category.
NO ONE, no individual, is going to pay $129 or $300 or $400 for that pic above. Perhaps some media company will, so let them transact with each other directly, no?
They definitely ought to boot these *content farms* from the top pages of Google search results.
Screed, over.

Any possibility those content farms are paying to be seen first?
On another front, who reads those adds that purportedly support google?
I sure don't.
Oops. Don't tell google: I still want to use their services.
If they were....they wouldn't be booted out!
I don't see the Google Ads either - never mind click on them.
But I have never bought a car because of a color TV commercial either.
