Guess that explains why they manipulate the SERPs so as to advantage themselves and certain big $$$$$$ businesses. 
And, why they manipulate the minimum required bids on AdWords even in the absence of competition.

Have you read any of this thread, so as to learn of the various unethical practices of Google?

How Google Is Killing Organic Search
Quote:
"The click-through rate of paid search advertisements on Google now outnumbers 'free' organic search result listings by nearly a 2:1 ratio for high commercial intent keyword searches conducted in the U.S.," says Larry Kim, the founder and Chief Technical Officer of WordStream, a PPC technology and search engine marketing software company that just published some research on the state of Google search.
(WordStream defines a "high commercial intent keyword" as a keyword entered with the apparent intent to purchase a product or service, like "buy an iPhone" or "Seiko watch.")
So if you think no one clicks on Google ads, you're wrong: When people are searching in order to investigate or make a purchase, over 64% click a sponsored result. Keep in mind unpaid clicks still account for the majority of Google search clicks... but if a keyword is valuable to a business, PPC advertisements typically generate double the number of clicks compared to organic results.

Good luck trying to convince those who are constantly being jerked about by Google of that.

Hm-m; no. The evil is the doing of Google people, not of an inanimate machine.

yes people its not Google. I want to say it. but clearly they do not intend to go out of business so, but certainly there are things that need to be addressed. so instead they are considered evil or anything, maybe we are still weak, and therefore there is the question "Is Google Evil?" ......

Google's evil lies in its insatiable desire to dominate all, to drive others from the field of play.

We just need to see why Google goes mobile to undersand that in small screens like mobile phones, tablets, etc The only thing appearing on the top results are Google Adwords and Google Shopping products.
Organic search is disappearing faster than anybody can imagine. It will probably take 1 or 2 years before it is completly gone.

Google is the Internet Mafia - You have to abide by their rules or they will leave you packing. It's just they way it is right now. Things will change... They always do!
