Well said

--- I like their way of handling paid ads to the right of the
results---

The competitors seem to be missing out on the real reasons that
Google has risen to the top. Look at Yahoo's recent schemes,
where they're offering "preferred" service to people who pay
them, meaning improved (paid for) positioning in listings. Look
at how Yahoo puts a long list of paid ads in before you get to
relevant results. All great ideas for making money, but all ideas
that lessen usability. Google is on the top because they are the
most reliable and most usable search engine. Any competitor
that fails to provide the same usability and the same reliability
(meaningful results,not paid ads) is doomed to second place at
best.
