This was close to hitting the home page, but I've moved it here manually just in case the deadline passed without enough votes. Great read and deserving of going hot on the home page.
I concur, another Lead Bait//"research exercise" carried out to drum up new business via an ADvertorial (iProspect used to conduct one of these "studies" every year ~6 months prior to the holidays circa 2000-2004).
PLUS, w/Google's new "brand refinements", is it really necessary for big brand advertisers to try and optimize for generic terms any more?

me thinks not...
IMHO, brand refinements doesn't mean big brands don't need SEO... I think that assumption is misguided, short sighted and foolish...
