Google's User Experience

DG shows how hollow Google's user experience mantra is:

If you think for a minute that Google cares about the user experience, think about this, Google allows Adsense to be placed on sites without regard to quality of content and they advise blending your ads to look like site navigation, a perfect example of deceiving the user. What their actions say is simply this, paid links are just fine, as long as Google is the one getting paid.

Forbes and the NYT show they both understand Google's user experience initiative.
