Google Shopping Listings Won’t Be Free Much Longer
Google has announced through their Commerce blog that the current shopping search feature will be turned into a new shopping search engine called “Google Shopping” for users in the United States in this fall. Currently, the service is free and search results of product are based predominantly on relevance. But, it won’t be free much longer for advertisers according to the new announcement. After the service is commenced, merchants have to bid for top spots in the Google Shopping results which will be marked as Sponsored.
