As Google Shopping
Although Google Product Search was renamed Google Shopping on May 31, 2012, the transition from the free service to the monetized service is expected to take place in the fall of 2012. Search results will be based upon both relevance and the bid price that merchants pay Google. It is the first time that Google will entirely replace a product that had previously listed companies and merchants for free. Because of this change, some small businesses are concerned that they will not be able to compete with larger companies that can afford a larger advertising budget. Google plans to integrate Google Catalogs with Google Shopping.

Famous quotes containing the word shopping:
“Shopping seemed to take an entirely too important place in women’s lives. You never saw men milling around in men’s departments. They made quick work of it. I used to wonder if shopping was a form of escape for women who had no worthwhile interests.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
