Google tries to paint a true picture of what's on the web, so it tries to deny people with optimization knowledge better ranking despite the site's actual popularity. Google never sold search rankings and all ads are prominently labelled as ads

And guess what: The California Senate passed a measure recently to ban Google -- your model of "ethics" -- from threatening the privacy of users: Which just goes to show that you're a lamer hypocrite when it comes to your choice of targets: "Google Good, Microsoft Baaaaaaaaaaaad..."

That was standard overreaction by idiot politicians who need an issue to campaign on and a reason to pass another useless law. All of their issues are pure political grandstanding. Google was up front in the beginning about every aspect of this free service that gives you a gig of storage. You pay for such generous service by accepting automated scanning of emails that puts separate ads on the page depending on the detected words. You know, kind of the way you already get clearly labelled ads when you search for a term.
