Ever since Google started hinting towards IPO, they've been making changes to their algorithm. Has anyone noticed that searches have become increasingly commercial oriented, paticularly after the underwriting started?
Case in point. I searched for remote access + linux
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=remote+access+%2B+linux and every link on the page essentially was a commercial site pointing towards GoToMyPc.com...
I realize that there are various means of manipulating the algorithm, which has raised the ire of google advertisers:

Any one noticing a trend that Google is becomming more interested in re$ults then results?
