Google's First Result Is Always Amazon.com

by Gary M.

I just noticed recently that for every search term I enter in Google Amazon.com is the first result.

I thought Google was making enough money from all the advertisers paying for ad spots (maybe this is what Amazon is doing). It's kind of irritating me, so I assume it will get on other people's nerves as well.

Do you think this is a bad move for Google? They seem less concerned about the user's experience now - maybe people will start using other search engines that can give them more relevant results.

    Yeah that seems a little odd, I can't imagine google going against everything that they have built their business on. Which is relevance...

    I have never had this problem. Must be and application you are using

    Aha! That's the problem - thanks for letting me know. I'm turning that damn thing off ASAP.

    LOL. Problem solved and Google still rules the world!

      You obviously aren't running the software...it sticks out like a sore thumb - I mean a really bad sore thumb.
