Here's what I get for "iPhone price": http://i.imgur.com/VOE0Q1q.png http://i.imgur.com/VOE0Q1q.png which shows the actual prices. The thesis of the post seems to be that it's a bad idea to have one search engine because people will reverse engineer it. That's true, but the billions of dollars flowing into Google means they throw the smartest people at staying ahead of SEO. It seems pretty effective.

For that query I get a range of prices (sponsored result) ranging from £0.00 to £300. Obviously, the £0.00 result is going to get the click-through despite the £300 option being likely to be the better deal? The organic results (below the fold) seem to be worse than would have been the case 5 years ago. SEO has been replaced with chuck money at adwords and hope some of it works.
