Click Fraud. Wiki information searches. Divulging their relevance criteria and information linkage models allows people to pimp the system too easily - they need to push into much more sophisticated models to create more than a useful source for simply finding sites for commercial transactions. Once they begin to stumble, watch the metric of R&D funding to sales. If a sharp decline occurs, it will precede a collapse of the shares.

Knowing all of that, and knowing that businesses ARE going to continue to advertise on the internet no matter the fraud percentage, who would you be putting your money on to do a better job than Google?

I absolutely agree with the click fraud comment. I believe within the next couple of years an internal memo will surface about how Google's internal managers wrote programs to "enhance" their earnings. I have seen my costs triple while the volume of purchases from my website has stayed pretty much flat.

Well, someone named Eric is making lots of money. Cashed in and sold $27.5 million in options this week. Yup, insider selling is big bucks.
