Google
release Froogle
Google
have unleashed their latest addition to the world
wide web in the form of Froogle,
Google’s new product orientated Search Engine.
Here’s some info on the
new service from the maestro’s of web indexing.
What is Froogle ?
Froogle is a new service from
Google that makes it easy to find information
about products for sale online. By focusing entirely
on product search, Froogle applies the power of
Google's search technology to a very specific
task: locating stores that sell the item you want
to find and pointing you directly to the place
where you can make a purchase.
To use Froogle, go to the "Froogle"
link on the advanced search page or go directly
to the Froogle home page. Type in the name of
the item you want to find and click on "Froogle
Search." Almost instantly, you'll see photos
of relevant products and links to the stores that
sell them. Or you may choose to browse through
the merchandise categories listed on Froogle's
home page until you find exactly the item you
want to buy.
As with all other Google search
results, Froogle ranks store sites based only
on their relevance to the search terms you've
entered. Google does not accept payment for placement
within our actual search results, and advertising
that appears to the right of Froogle search results
is always clearly identified with the label "Sponsored
Links."
What's
the benefit of being listed with Froogle ?
Froogle is an extension of the
Google search engine that millions of people around
the globe use daily to research products before
they purchase. Listing your product in Froogle
is a free way to extend the reach of your marketing
efforts to millions of new customers.
Google's worldwide user base performs
more than 150 million searches a day. That presents
an enormous opportunity to introduce your products
to customers you might otherwise spend millions
of dollars in advertising to reach. These are
people actively searching for the items you sell.
And did we mention inclusion in Froogle is absolutely
free?
