Editorial process breaks down on the fringes

On a search for a particular disease, I got a kick out of the Overture results. A pharma company that sells a drug treatment for that disease has taken out 4-20 positions on each keyword phrase.

Overture, are you there? We are on to you!#:^)

When this sort of thing happens, it tells me how wide open the keyword market still is. . .

I didn't look into it, but they're not all affiliates are they? It reminds me of when you'd see 3 ebay listings on a google result, yet they're all affiliate's ads.

Nope, they're not affiliates, it's the pharma company that sell the drug to treta the disease state.
