Yelp Demonstrates Google's Search Bias

Yelp has created a demonstration, along with several other shopping and travel Web sites, that shows Google's bias toward its own pages in search results. The Chrome browser extension strips Google+ pages from Google's search results, forcing the search engine to display only the organic results if Google did not favor its own sites and links. While the Business Insider notes that Yelp isn't complaining Google dominates search, but rather that it uses the dominance to distort markets outside of the search industry.
