I think they are definitely holding down other businesses. It is a terrible practice what they are doing, but they reward the people with big sites so they keep quiet. Little guys like me try to get press to react but I don't have the pull. I would think very hard about joining a class action lawsuit. I think they are definitely holding down other businesses.

I am no lawyer but to penalize someone from supplying a competitor’s product is against the Trade Practises Act and has severe penalties. Some may also consider it to be anticompetive. It is scary to think that one company wields so much power over my every day life: Google know what I look up the net via search and has no policy on how long they will keep this information. Google knows what feeds I read via reader. Google reads my email via Gmail. Google reads my Documents via Google Docs. Google knows where I will be and when via Calendar. Google tracks who visits my website and when. Google handles and distributes my feed via feedburner. These services only touch the surface of Googles reach. It is a very sad thing that the small bloggers are getting targeted, as they don’t have as great a voice as some of the big name bloggers. This whole incident has made me rethink the power I allow one Corporation to have over my life. I think the way to go is a class action lawsuit.

They have to realize that these types of paid ads are important to people making money online, and that adsense just doesn't cut it for everyone.
