CNN was reporting this morning that search engines will take money from sites to have their web sites come up higher on a search results list.

They came across this when investigting how they make money (personaly I don't care how they make money).

My question is, would this bother you?

I can see how it would upset some people, either giving inaccurate search results.

But I think that search engine wouldn't put a bad site at the top of a list because they paid money. Personaly, if a search engine gave me bad links at the top of a search constantly, I'd probably stop using it.

Anyone else?

The ones that were named on CNN were Goto.com and google.com.
