Amazon want you to search for Kindle. One because you can find more about it from places you might trust. Two so you can find them to buy it. They are not content creators, they are a store. If you take out the news links you have the review sites and the stores. The point of the search is relevance, not particular content.

Also, you have always been able to tell Google to ignore your content by inserting a simple command in your site. Murdock and others that it is a nefarious plots really don’t understand search.

Think of it this way. If I want NYT take on a subject, then I go to the NYT. If I just want to see what happened with a particular news story, then I search for it and it really doesn’t matter much which news provider comes up. I look at a couple and my need is fullfilled.

Murdock’s plan will only work for a few name brand papers. The rest do need search more than Google needs them.
