I tried that approach as well, I even had a $5k a day spend limit in there... didn't do me any good.
My statements also hold true to other areas... Google Maps... Every street address I've lived at has been completely wrong... Bing, Map Quest, any other maps sites; they're all correct.
Google's search UI has been the same for how many years? Sure they've added Products / Shopping and other features but everyone else that focuses on that feature is doing it better. Even Bing is better than Google, AJAX load on page scroll for images, play clips from the search page, etc... while they still arguably have the best "results" algorithm. That could change overnight. The only thing that's propping them up is their brand. When people want to search for something they're preprogrammed for Google.
Everyone is advancing but Google is so broad and is trying to push in so many directions that they aren't doing ANYTHING really well. It's an old rule of business that you focus on what you do really well and deliver. Spreading yourself too thin dilutes your efforts and produces a ton of mediocre results. That's what I'm seeing from Google now...
