Then we'll pay taxes and watch our traffic get whittled away by big players who want it all! Yeehaw!

You are so right, Sgt. At the top of all the search results for my category are all the big corporations.

Because they recycle cash back to Google via ads while not upsetting search users. Make no mistake about it. That is an intentional thing in the algo and it comes from the top. That's even truer with the big money making terms.

I examined some of the top 10 search results more closely and found that about 40% of the big corporations showing on the first page are members of the Google Affiliate program.
Just a coincidence, huh?

@thirteen
The real money for Google is in adwords. Search for something and see how many big brands are in page one and how many of them are advertisers as well.
And then google 'Vince Update.' It's not directly a Google search engineer checking to see how much, say Geico spends on Google vs Allstate, and adjust ranks accordingly. But it works close enough as the bigger brands spend more in ads, internet included.
It started just for major keywords like electronics, insurance, jewelry etc, now Google is giving them even long tail searches since the Mayday Update. Panda, IMO, gave them even more.

But why Google not open & easy for all advertisers? Do they prefer only the big Corp. guys?

It looks that way to me, Petrogold. When I search for anything in my category, it's the fat cat corporations that have the top results.
