Part of me thinks, ye gods that's appalling.

Another part of me wants to be damn certain that when people search for "swine flu what do i do" they get the NHS advice at the top of the list and not some dodgy online pharmaceuticals sales site.

But then... and I'm sure some of you SEO bods must know this... surely the whole point of .gov.uk and .nhs.uk domain names is to be the approved, official, trusted sites? So they must be treated differently by search engines anyway, without paying for SEO?

Interesting point, and agree totally. I wonder what the google gods stance is on stuff like .gov

I wonder what PR juice or link weight anchor text is coming from a .gov site! If of course you were that lucky!!
