Actually, I do pay google to keep my website up near the front, at least on the first page. It ain't cheap, either. And that only gives you so many clicks per month, after which you go to lower pages until next month's payment is received. And it's not an ad, just a regular website listing.

It's a common misconception that the use of colloidal silver is based on some pagan cult worship of silver. Or that its a homeopathic remedy. Neither of these are true of course. The use of silver had, and continues to have, a very substantial scientific and medical background. (Just look up colloidal silver in Wikipedia). So at one end of the story we have silver's proven in-vitro antibiotic properties, and at the other end we have a mountain of anecdotal evidence that it works in real life. The 'missing link' that is required to convince the skeptics is 'evidence based in-vivo studies.' (In other words, credible human trials.) Unfortunately we'll probably never have those unless someone like Bill Gates gets interested, or the NCCAM funds a trial. (As, according to their charter, they should. Instead they seem intent on researching rubbish that is doomed to failure, further proving the lack of effectiveness of alternative medicine.) Heres a site that has a heap of scientific research about silver. http://robholladay99.tripod.com/cs1index.htm By the way, you can't pay to get a website to the top of a google search (other than the obvious paid Google Adwords spots). Those sites that you mention rate highly because they have a lot of words, they get clicked a lot, and because so many other sites link to them.
