Britain cracks down on paid search | CNET News.com

Britain cracks down on paid search | CNET News.com: "British regulators have asked an Internet service provider to make clearer that some of its Web search results are paid advertisements, saying pay-for-placement listings from search provider Overture could confuse consumers.
