Wolfram, Maple and Google

I did a Google search for site:beta.mapleprimes.com/blog +maple (I was trying to count how many blogs on Primes Google knew about - a lot!). And then I glance over at the "Sponsored links" over on the right hand side, and what do I see but a link to www.wolfram.com. Could it be that they have actually bought the word maple for their AdSense keywords? I tried a few other queries, even re-trying the one above, and that link did not come up again. Very odd. So it looks like it was some kind of Heisenbug. None of my ``obvious'' Google searches came up with any sponsored links from either Maplesoft or Wolfram Research (lots of page hits, more often of ``friendly'' sites than the corporate site). On the other hand, over on Technorati, the word Maplesoft gets a page of its very own, and on it appears a Wolfram link. And also a way to buy Maple 10 real cheap - handy that ;-). Similar searches for Wolfram and Mathematica did not give me any Maplesoft ads.
