Yep! Sure! Uh-hu! The world is flat. The sun rises in the south.
I did not say it finds Google ads, I said it gives preferance to sites that
carry Google ads, or buy Google ads.
Anyone who has been paying attention has noticed the changes in the type of
sites Google finds now compared to, say, a year ago. For most of what I do
Google is no longer useful at all. Someone mentioned that Yahoo was not doing
that. I tried it and get much better results, not as good as I would like
(there are just too many useless commercial sites out there that clutter up any
search engines results) but I only get about 1/10 as many commercial sites in
the first 100 or so citations, plus far fewer duplications.
As this type of thing gets more and more prevalent I am thinking of setting up
my own search spiders to find sites that are more useful to me.

Not true. The "sponsored links" which appear above and to the side of
the search results (and are clearly labeled), work this way, but
advertising has no affect on the main results. In fact, in a Federal
Trade Commission study of major search engines, Google was the *only*
one that met all the FTC requirements for keeping paid links and search
results separate.
