Be sure that sellers take advantage of some so-called 'articles' and snatch
such search phrases or SERP's (search engine results pages) as well. The
commercial dominance is truly an issue sometimes. Yahoo News and Google News
suffer from the same issue, but Google has always been worse in that
respect.

PS - I use Wikipedia for anything that can be contained in an article. Google
is good information that is not broad, but is rather difficult to get at.
Google digs very deep.
