Google is the largest and most popular search engine on the Internet today. Because of its size and popularity, some people claim that Google has enormous power to influence a web user’s search experience solely by its website-ranking processes. What do you think about this potential power? How could it be used in negative or harmful ways? Some websites pay search engines to list them near the top of the results pages. These sponsors, therefore, get priority placement. What do you think of this policy? What effect (if any) do you think that Google has on website development? For example, do you think website developers intentionally include frequently searched words in their pages so that they will appear in more hits lists?
