If you search for "New York Times" you will see what I am saying. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=New+York+Times&btnG=Google+Search
So the TOP "ranked" link, if you hover the mouse over it, you see no URL displayed. If you click it, you get a site to sign up for home delivery. The second "ranked" site is the actual site. So the NY Times is paying Google to make this happen. I wouldn't be upset if they identified this as a "sponsored link". Oh wait, I see it faintly way over to the right....
Just one step away from full banned ADs and a sad thing to see the greed of a once great company (and it's many owners) over take sensible operability.
