That's alright then

Government departments spend £6m on search engines
Four government departments spent almost £6m ensuring their websites appeared on search engine results pages in the last two financial years, according to newly released figures.
The Department of Health was the biggest spender, running up a bill of £4.4m in "paid search" fees.

It said the money was spent supporting campaigns on smoking and the flu pandemic.
Well that's alright then I suppose, long as it was for the children.

Where does any government department that's already blowing so much of our money on advertising to hector us get off on blowing another load on placements on Google?

Listen fucknuts, if your content is relevant to what people search for, then Google shows it, that's how it works, and if people aint interested enough in your pet projects to find them when they search for what they are into, ditch them.

Why am I not surprised to find Act on CO2 listed among the bilge I've now paid to see promoted at me? Another example of government pushing an agenda at us.
