<< I think that both SEO will continue, and of course Google delivers different results >>

Are you saying that two things can both be true at the SAME time? And here I thought we were just talking seo.

But this won't do at all, you have to pick one and only one position then argue it until you're blue in the face, none of this open-mindedness and flexibility here please, what are you thinking?...

However, I'll have to disagree to some degree, the rise of adwords income pre and post ipo was just too extreme to be lucky chance, especially since it helped push the stock to silly levels that made many people very rich.

But only to some degree, I'd say that it's a case of two things being true at once, google achieved certain search oriented goals AND at the same time mazimized income, worked out well, these two goals don't have to contradict each other or be mutually exclusive. As we've come to see, hit spammers hard and you hit the very person who is most likely to pay for placement, whether it's to an seo or to google adwords makes little difference to the company paying, only the results matter.
