It should be acknowledged however that today for most people some commercial entities are "friends". If a small publisher I like publishes new books, my favorite sport team has some important news, etc., I'd like to know about it, and Faceb

for instance, a person who searches for "Harry Potter," and then for "Amazon," actually wants "Harry Potter" results from Amazon.com Inc. I wonder, is this really the case? It seems strange. Is there any research available

I don't work for Google or have any inside informatgion, but I guess "magic keywords" become such after a certain (very large) threshold. Obama, being the president of the United States for four years, has probably crossed that threshold lo
