search engine domination

That's just silly. Will they give producers higher visibility links? Maybe, but producers would have to pay out the ass for them (think 60% revshare is bad?), making the affiliate model seem brighter. And even if google decided to do what you claim they will, there would be such a backlash from users. Google has risen to the top by doing EXACTLY the opposite of that. They cater to users every whim, and that means the most exposure to content possible.

There may come a time when Google takes a larger share of clicks from us, but we will never, ever be dropped. Without 5 trillion sites to crawl, they're just another shitty portal. And they know it.
