If so then... we're all done because PPC does not work for most vendors because it has got to the point where fewer and fewer vendors campaigns/industries have Positive ROI. Since I began CPC has doubled, IMO, that's unsustainable and something has to give at some point.

Personalized Search.... if 10% of users have a Google account and it's turned on I'd be really surprised. That said... Google has always tracked to some extent and if what you claim is true about the quality of personalized search users will learn that personal results are less effective in some cases and move on.

If you are guaranteeing results then... you're clinging to 10 yr. old practices that should have been taken out behind the barn and put out of their misery in 2000!
