    Much of the controversy surrounding the stake Google took in AOL is based on concerns that Google will give AOL content preferred placement in its search engine. And this should be an issue people are concerned with: rigging search queries means Google could no longer be a trusted source.

    In its Official Google Blog, Marissa Mayer, VP of Search Products & User Experience, posted a response to the rumors swirling around Google and AOL, including preferential search returns, content indexing and banner ads.
