Strap yourself in structured settlement annuity life insurance companies (particularly their corporate legal counsel) and structured settlement brokers! This is highly disturbing.

Yahoo Search of "Allstate Structured Settlement Quote" on November 14, 2006 (continued)
The top listed on the search listing is Structured Settlement Alliance, known to be an alter ego of JG Wentworth, the factoring company which, upon information and belief, is not licensed or appointed as an insurance agent appointed by Allstate, or any other structured settlement annuity issuer.
The link from the Search Engine Link leads you to the following web page of the Structured Settlement Alliance that you can see by clicking here.
Puzzled, I checked the source code for the Structured Settlement Alliance page which you can easily see by right clicking on your mouse (placed within that web page) and then clicking on that "view source". What I saw absolutely stunned me as it should stun all structured settlement brokers as well as the legal counsel of the life insurance companies whose names appear embedded in the open viewable source code of the Structured Settlement Alliance.**
The Structured Settlement Alliance web page source code has clearly been programmed to come up whenever "structured settlement quote" has been associated with any of the listed structured annuity issuing life insurance companies (including AIG, Pacific Life, Hartford, Prudential, John Hancock, Metropolitan Life and others). In addition "structured settlement quote" is associated with each of the 50 states in the USA. These subtleties are not visible to the naked eye of the consumer. Is this an accident? I doubt it!
The end result is that a consumer or other potential customer who is seeking information, from one of these companies, will instead be diverted to Structured Settlement Alliance. Thus Structured Settlement Alliance may unfairly capitalize on the names (which may even be trademarked) and goodwill of others. What is the price for that?
Putting aside the obvious, what if that consumer has an unsatisfactory experience and then associates the bad experience with the life insurance company or structured settlement industry because of the spider web created by Structured Settlement Alliance programmers?
