Tales of a Google search

Those who watch the search engine industry know that the latest Google Dance (nicknamed Florida - the metaphor cracks me up) has made a mockery out of the algorithm. Case in point: I did a search for "Tales of a Librarian" and the top 4 hits (and a few others in the top 10) are all shopping sites. Thats not normal, right? Plus, one of my posts is number 7. Yikes...

At least Altavista comes a bit closer. Tori's web site is the number 4 result.

For a while, we've seen the top two site of the Google search for "book design" go to Amazon.com.

You're right, a year ago, this was not normal behavior for Google. Why am I not surprised by Google going commercial though?
