i think its fairly obvious they are making their results worse for certain terms that they can drive lots of traffic to the google adwords on the sides.
If you click the top 5 links for "lesbian porn" and none of them have lesbian porn , you are certainly more likely to click the ad on the right , thus google makes money , they dont make money off you finding what you want on the regular results..
But hey they would never do that because it would make their search engine crappier right ?
I think the crappiness of the results seems to be in direct correlation to the advertising rates on the google adwords ( for certain things )
i.e. higher the cpc , lower the relevency.. . i think they figure , even if you use the google adwords you are still finding what you want right.. so you will still come back to google.. as long as they lower their relevency in respect to the amount of competition for that keyword on google adwords the results will still be fairly relevent ( if you include adwords )
