The thing is, it has always been legal to try to switch you to another
product. You walk in to a travel agent and tell
them you want to go to Paris on American. The
salesman has a deal with United and tries to sell
you United instead. All perfect legal.

So, the automation of this process is not illegal
either.

But, that said, if Google (or any search provider)
listed the competitors site as the most relevant
search item, that might be illegal. In this case,
they are marking it clearly as related advertising.
