I thought it was simply a loss leader that makes the most recognised brand even more pervasive in our lives - I don't think I'd use it if it only found companies that have paid to be featured.

I already ignore 'sponsored links' on Google, on the basis that the G Machine should return the most relevant results at the top of the search results, and if somebody can only get their business in front of me by paying, you have to question their reputation and relevance.

But at least Google make it easy to separate the hit-based and the paid-for search results and therefore you can make that choice.
Personally I'm quite happy with Google. It provides a huge raft of excellent services free to the consumer without the plethora of advertising seen elsewhere. However, there's no such thing as a free lunch so someone has to pay for it somewhere.

I wonder how they will monetise it in future (if at all).
