** It is very, very simple.
You * PAY * Google money to put your site at the TOP of their list when
specified key words or phrases are entered.
So - if you hit the " IFL " button - voila.
The practice is totally unconscionable - you can even use a competitor's
business name to send folk to your site.
There have been reports in the media about the practice here in Aussie just
lately - involving a huge corporation using it to squash smaller
competitors.
