Google Merchant Search 'Will Set the Cat amongst the Pigeons' Says Guava Director, Edward Cowell
Cornwall, UK (PRWEB) June 3, 2008 -- Price comparison websites are big business in the UK and all the major industry players advertise heavily on Google. Research commissioned by Resolution Foundation shows that 45% of UK adults used a comparison site to help them make a financial decision in the last year and that the price-comparison market is estimated to be growing at 30% a year.
According to Edward Cowell, Director of digital marketing (http://www.guava.co.uk) agency Guava; "Google Merchant Search will truly put the cat amongst pigeons for some of Google's biggest search advertisers, the financial services comparison websites."
The launch of the new service comes at a critical time for Google and its financial services advertisers as Edward Cowell of Guava (http://www.guava.co.uk) highlights:
"Most big financial services websites are just coming to terms with a marked increase in their paid search advertising budgets due to the recent changes in Google's trademark bidding policies, so Merchant Search could be rubbing salt into the wound."
Uprisings are not unheard of in the search arena, which has historically witnessed Ebay boycotting Google Adwords by withdrawing its adverts when Google attempted to encroach on PayPal's territory.
The industry waits with baited breath to see how the price comparisons companies react to the launch of Merchant Search.

We've heard the warning for years when it comes to asking for monetary wedding gifts - tacky, tacky, tacky! Even though a simple check saves time because it eliminates the need to shop for a wedding gift and wrap it, most people don't like being told in a wedding invitation that the happy couple prefers the cash - primarily because family and friends don't want the happy couple to know the exact dollar amount they're spending on the wedding gift. Aunt Geraldine and Uncle Horton aren't going to give you $50 when that spiffy vase Auntie found at a yard sale for $3 will look expensive in elegant gift wrap that probably cost more than the wedding gift.
