Hello Google Shopping & Paid Inclusion

“Because we do not charge merchants for inclusion in Froogle, our users can browse
product categories or conduct product searches with confidence that the results we
provide are relevant and unbiased…”

“We believe that having a commercial relationship with merchants will encourage them
to keep their product information fresh and up to date. Higher quality data—whether it’s
accurate prices, the latest offers or product availability—should mean better shopping
results for users, which in turn should create higher quality traffic for merchants.”
