Did anyone else laugh at "Google competitor Yelp ..."? Google may appear to be a monopoly, but there are plenty of people using Bing and Yahoo (Bing underneath). While I think it's foolish for Google to manipulate results in the long run, they certainly write the algorithms that determine search relevance for their own system. Does Google include special rules to outrank Yelp? Maybe, but I can't bring myself to feel any sympathy for a company (Yelp) that gets so much bad press for extortion. Maybe users find the much sparser reviews on G+ more accurate because they're not manipulated based on whether the business pays Yelp?
