These are not paid listings, which are on the right side. Quackwatch is in the number two spot. If there is any funny business going on, it would have to involve some kind of program that repeatedly "hits" that page so that it gets counted by the Google search engine program as a major site. That sort of manipulation is possible, I suppose; I wonder whether the Google billionaires can detect that kind of thing?

I've heard it costs nearly $200,000 per year to stay on top of search engines like that. Now, when I do a search on it, this is first in line: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/PhonyAds/silverad.html This is Stephen Barrett's site. He links to Rosemary Jacob's site "for further information". Hmmm..... And, of course he denies it, but, I've heard and read that Stephen Barrett has strong FDA and pharmaceutical industry ties. Doesn't that make you wonder?? Could the FDA or pharma cartel be manipulating his/her position in our searches?
