Goodbye Google Product Search & Free Listings

Hello Google Shopping & Paid Inclusion

27

“Because we do not charge merchants for inclusion in Froogle, our users can browse

product categories or conduct product searches with confidence that the results we

provide are relevant and unbiased…”

Google 2004

28

“We believe that having a commercial relationship with merchants will encourage them

to keep their product information fresh and up to date. Higher quality data—whether it’s

accurate prices, the latest offers or product availability—should mean better shopping

results for users, which in turn should create higher quality traffic for merchants.”
