Hello, and welcome back to LilacsNDreams. Yippee! It's Friday, and weekend here we come...LOL:) I am sure by now most of you have heard the buzz with Google Shopping Searches. Yepper! Google is making another change, again. When don't they, right? Well, unfortunately this one is gonna hit with many small businesses, and effect quite a few online sellers. Great for the bigger business, but here we go again.
It's really easy to just go to your addy bar at the top, and put in for google.com to do a search of something you are looking for. Sometimes you will go to Shopping in Google for a little more of a break down for the item you are looking for too. By this fall expect that Google Shopping search to be quite different. In order for sellers, and businesses to be seen with Google Shopping it will have to be paid for. Kind of like a paid advertisement. Yepper! Gonna be a fee to submit your stores, your products, your goods to be seen in Google Shopping. The Google Organic searches will still be free, and that is a much wider spread to search through, but this is the big spin on news in Google world.
So, by this fall when you are searching for something you will see some differences than you do now. If you like to bargain shop...which many of us do. We like to search for the best deal possible, and save that penny where we can, Google Searches will not be quite the same. So, when you do a search don't use Google Shopping, but just use the organic shopping with Google. Also, there are other search engines out there to use as well too. Bing is the next one under Google, you can use Yahoo, try Ask.com, and another one I seen is DuckDuckGo.com. There are many more, and sometimes breaking habit of use is a good thing too.
I myself went into Bing searches this morning. Looking for some images to use with some of my postings for here, and I was quite happy with what I had found there too.
Hey, I hope ya'll have an enjoyable weekend....it's Friday, and here it comes! Thanks for sharing with LilacsNDreams, enjoy your weekend, and see you again next week everyone. Take care.
