That's Google's right to sell that space to whomever they want. It's also Geico's right to buy up that space.

I agree that it's Google's right to sell their advertisements, but I can certainly see why Geico would have a problem with those ads being tied to their trademarked name.

Then they can offer Google more to *not* show the ads of their competitors.

If you Google Geico you will find that a blogger has got the top spot. He knew what he was doing, though he does not sell insurance, it was his right to buy an ad using the keyword.

If Geico wanted top billing on the advertisment side (or top) then they should pay for it.
