Google is becoming increasingly commercial these days. I suspect they are moving away from their slogan "Don't be evil". Recently Google has started testing ads inside Google suggest. Google suggest is an effective way of keyword suggestion where when a user types just partial word into the search box and Google will give keywords and keyword phrase suggestions based on user input. Now Google is testing by inserting links into Google suggest and sometimes they are inserting actual sponsored links into suggest search box.
You can see an adwords sponsored link on top of the list of keyword suggestions for me this looks increasingly greedy. More people are bound to click on those links since it appears directly near the search box. From what I can see this is just too much greed Google is bringing their commercial activity more nearer to people. They are forcing people to click on those ads since there is no way people can avoid those kind of link suggestions. I feel Google should back away from this since it makes them look very commercial and bad in everyone's eyes.
