I will say that Google poses an interesting dilemma, they are a price setter in that really than can petty much dictate minimum PPC and other rates without fear of losing too many 'customers', so in that sense they are rather monopolistic, BUT as was wisely pointed out - there are very good 'substitutes' in the form of Yahoo and MSN etc and therefore people don't have to be price takers. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.
