    Google's reasoning is this.

    For any keyword search, a good sized portion of AdWord results has, at least until now, consisted of affiliate ads promoting identical seller sites.

    From Google's viewpoint, and mine as well, that was not a quality search result.

    So What's The Solution?

    There are three things that can be done to regain that exposure.

    3. - The best answer can be spelled out in just two words - Content Pages.
