Do you think that google accept money for organic website rankings?
This was selected as Best Answer To help your client to understand how Google works and that they don’t take revenue to get natural results to the top, show him a few searches where Google products don’t rank #1. Where Google needs to ensure their servicse come top, they often use adwords. Current Examples include – Best Search Engine (Dogpile.com is top!) pay per click (Adwords doesn’t appear on the first page) landing page optimization (Google Web Optimiser is way down) free internet email (gmail is nowhere to be seen) Chrome until very recently didn’t have a Google result in the top #5, they had to sit and wait whilst their own search engine discovered the Chrome homepage. I hope this helps with reporting back to your client!
