Everyone trusts Google. But how accurate is that? Google gives the results based on the references of other sites given to your kaywords. E.g. if someones says "Most Useful Program ever" www.winrar.com , Google will show www.winrar.com whenever someone types "Most Useful Program ever" in the keywords.
But how can we be sure if the first result is the one with most references, and not some other site that pays to be advertised in Google? The site does not give away the number of references that this site have. Same tactics is used by Yahoo and other search engines. This is very bad for the credibility of these search engines...
GIVE THE PEOPLE THE NUMBER OF REFERENCES!!!

On the contrary, Google displays "Sponsored Links" in a column on the right of the results page.
What it is susceptible to is "search engine bombing" but there's not much you can do about it.
Actually, advertised sites often (or always) appear on the right side of the site. I know that because i was present in an advertising proccess. The guy who paid google for his ad, checked it this way. I believe that the reason some sites appear before others (not sponsored sites) is not money benefits. Its just the nature of the search engine. The ones that were checked earlyer than others appear before them. Its a matter of distance, not money in my opinion. Maybe if we could do the same search from two different distant countries we could end up with better assumptions.
