Yeah. Also, how do you computationally distinguish between a commercial and non-commercial site? Loads of grey areas.

Our Natural Language / Language Heuristics Engine can do this. We do to a small extent now, we haven't gone whole hog because I'm not sure I agree that commercial sites shouldn't rank. For things we determine to be reference searches we downrank sales pages, for things we determine to be shopping searches we uprank them.
What product are you developing the engine for?
