Why Google Doesn’t Stack Up for Rates on Bank CDs and Savings Accounts

Looking for the highest rates on bank CDs, money markets, and savings?

Be careful that you don’t fall into the Google trap. As you search for terms related to bank rates, Google’s algorithm jumps into the fray and spits out its own rates with a search box ahead of your organic search results. This means that links to the big players such as Bankrate.com, MoneyRates.com, DepositAccounts.com, and the granddaddy of them all, Interest.com, get pushed down the list. As a consumer this wouldn’t be a problem if Google was delivering a nice snapshot of the best CD and savings rates… but it doesn’t. It’s an incomplete list without much pizzazz. If a snapshot is all you want, Google does the trick. But for a complete list of rates, terms, and tips – you might want to check out one of the sites listed below:
