Gmail in Adwords

[charley]

Has anyone seen the top Adwords result for "webmail"?

Gmail on the top. I guess Google has a right to do as they please on their own site, but if I were an advertiser bidding for "webmail", I would be seriously upset about this.

That's right. But there are very few people who would bid for webmail term. I mean that that industry is completely dominated by the giants - Hotmail, Yahoo and GMail.

My conscience tells me

- Brand building.

I tried this on Google, Search "google marketing".

Yup, Google is protecting their best interests. They have the right to, but it is unethical when they are promoting a "fair" advertising service.
