Now, call me ignorant or whatever you like, BUT

If I enter "Edwardian San Francisco Hotel" into the little Google search box I EXPECT to have returned the official hotel website as THE VERY FIRST result and not on the second page with 17 creepy websites before it who are trying to make a buck!

Remember "I feel lucky"?

#*$!H? Once I am in local search mode I do not have a chance to find the official hotel website because NONE of those "helpful" review/directory sites link out.

This is actually misleading/misguiding the surfer/searcher and certainly not "giving the best possible search experience".

Oh, stupid me, The Edwardian should not be evil and start using adwords, right?
