Shell has apparently hired a Danish search engine marketing firm that has become too creative (and — shall we say — incompetent) in their attempts at improving Shell’s web search exposure. Hence up till Saturday 5 a search for Shell at Google Denmark brought up the search engine marketing company as number one.
