Dave,

Concurrent to our series about Google and pre-select cookies, I note that Jakob Nielsen's monthly usability article tackles search engines and their place in the web/commerce, and is not complimentary.

Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox, January 9, 2006:
Search Engines as Leeches on the Web

    Summary:
Search engines extract too much of the Web's value, leaving too little for the websites that actually create the content. Liberation from search dependency is a strategic imperative for both websites and software vendors.
