---- Google Shopping (Was Product Search) Shifting To Relevance and Pay-To-Rank

Bing still has free shopping. We just joined up. Very similar to google.

I am personally upset with google. We are dropping analytics off of our site today and getting rid of the powered by google search boxes. It is time for webmasters to start promoting other search engines on our web pages instead of google.

We will not pay for their service, there is too much click fraud and google just got very greedy. First Adwords showed up above natural results, now add to it paid shopping results. Google is slowly converting their first page of the search engine results into paid advertisements.

With the free version of shopping results gone, sellers will pull out and move to other places listing products. Eventually the users will follow as well and google shopping will dry up like eBay or shopping.com did.
