Amazon, Ebay, Yahoo stores dominating Google?

Is this something new or haven't I noticed?

Lately I've noticed Amazon, Ebay and Yahoo stores dominating the Google serps. Is it just me and my search terms or have these three won the search wars leaving the rest of the e-commerce world in the annals of cyber-history?

When I want to search these sites I know enough to go directly to them and use their site search, which I have already bookmarked, so I'd rather not have to wade though their extensive listings in the Google serps.

Past two years #1 - #2 keyword ranking on every item we sell (over 40,000 items), each page keyword optimized for that specific item - Now, a competition's non optimized, lower page rankied YAHOO store item pages are before ours!

but I'll lose traffic if people quit coming to Google and it won't surprise me if that's already starting to happen when I have to wade through those Amazon/Ebay/YahooStores/OutdatedDirectory/MegaShoppingSpam sites.

Yes, that is true. I know exactly where to find all of those sites. If they were what I'm looking for, I'd be there instead of Google.

I'm sure I can filter those out of my results by using more advanced options, but it's really easier to just use another engine. (or do the -dkjfsjfsh thing, but it's annoying to have to do that too.)

Yes, Amazon is all over the place. I know of one webmaster that has almost 500,000 Amazon listings in Google.

maybe now amazon ebay
with froogle
with adwords
with top in serps

google has already been sold to them and we were never told

[Jesse_Smith]

To add to the 500,000 listings, another webmaster just created 7 Billion Amazon pages by doing what he calls indexing matrix.

25,000 Keywords x 90,000 Results pages = 2,250,000,000 Amazon URLs, for each of the three countries.

Sticky me if you want the URL.
