Hi, GoogleGuy! Welcome to WmW, it's good to have you join us here.

What I particularly like about Google's paid advertising are the honesty and that everyone's given a fair chance. The paid ads are clearly defined so there's no deception, and the cost is set up so that even the smallest home-based entrepreneur can have the opportunity to participate.

I believe that a couple of the other search venues are tipped so far in favor of large corporations that they're placing themselves at potential risk in case consumer activists ever take serious interest. I hope that Google continues to provide opportunity for all levels of business to participate. It shows a lot of social awareness and integrity.

The search engines that are no longer including free submits, and are allegedly giving the paid submits preferential treatment in rankings are not only being dishonest, but the quality of search results is compromised. That's why the way AdWords is done, clearly defined, is so refreshing. It's the integrity of the presentation.

It's great that you've opened a line of communication. Thanks for stopping by, we'll be looking forward to your input.
