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:
“Most baby books also tend to romanticize the mother who stays at home, as if she really spends her entire day doing nothing but beaming at the baby and whipping up educational toys from pieces of string, rather than balancing cooing time with laundry, cleaning, shopping and cooking.”
—Susan Chira (20th century)
