Google promotes payed text links through ads

This is what I've seen today in my Gmail:
buy quality text links for better search engine results
The text says: Increase page rank - Buy quality text links for better search engine results

Nice advertising partners, Google :) Looking forward to see more links (to porn, warez etc) delivered directly into my Gmail interface :)

Seo is going to die... Isn't it?

About half a year ago I was planning to make a fortune by creating a socially-tailored custom search engine pages. I even started to write a Firefox addon like StumbleUpon Toolbar. But then I discovered scour.com.

Couple of weeks ago, Google has introduced SearchWiki. The search will never be the same again.



My rant: frankly, I think this sucks. Playing with the system was fun. Discovering the things that the system "likes", being fast to react and getting thousands of hits from search engines (recent example: g00d-stuff epidemy).
Now it all is pretty much gone. Seems botnets is the future of SEO.

Seriously, keyword stuffing makes my eyes bleed. Hopefully with rated search results it will be gone.
