Hi Anthony

I apreciate your view on paid ranking but then why
all major search engines/directories are investing
huge amount to come out with a unique/new algorithm
for ranking.

Don't you think that search engines by influencing
ranking by money will put the users of search engines
in a more disadvantageous position.

Take for example I have a more content rich page, it
is listed on search engines and it has a higher ranking.
A website owner purchases ranking and placed ahead .
Do you think that user of the search engines will be
benefited?
