See my earlier Google gripe at: http://blog.surfulater.com/wordpress/?p=20 Another search engine could come along tommorrow that worked better than Google and folks would switch in droves, just like they did when they moved to Google in the first place. It is very hard for something that is free to have brand loyalty. This is probably part of the reason why Google is putting its finger in so many different pies. There are no signs that Google is working on the issues you've raised and if anything things are simply getting worse. I'm hearing more and more lately about people stopping their Google Ads. My guess is that there are enough new advertisers coming along all the time that this isn't yet a problem for Google. It can't last forever though. Juan,

There are no signs that Google is working on the issues you’ve raised and if anything things are simply getting worse.

I’m hearing more and more lately about people stopping their Google Ads. My guess is that there are enough new advertisers coming along all the time that this isn’t yet a problem for Google. It can’t last forever though.

- fake sites that distort the search rankings for users
- fake click-throughs that make advertisers lose confidence on Google’s advertising

… any other features beyond good solid search are just a “nice to have”
