This is what happens when you pay huge amounts of money on Google Ads and traffic. They notice that you must be quite profitable if you afford to pay so much, so they come for your market. It will happen more and more and the more you pay to Google the more you help them take you out of the market.
- superbrane 7y ago1 more thought on this - Expedia and Booking are next on their menu...
- sct202 7y agoExpedia had a bad last quarter and blamed it on Google. Booking has a good quarter and said they did a better job with retaining visitors to skip Google.
- nemothekid 7y agoI wish these guys would follow AirBnb in at least pretending to care about design. I know Booking.com is trying, and for that I can retain the knowledge of going directly to Booking.com/AirBnb. TripAdvisor's site is a nightmare to navigate. It's easier to find things by searching them on Google than trying to navigate TripAdvisor. I won't lose sleep once someone finds out how to arrange their information in a cleaner format.
- arein2 7y agoI once booked trough booking.com When I arrived the hotel had all my credit card detalis printed on a paper that was just sitting there. Never booked again trough that site.
- threeseed 7y agoActually this is all about Amazon. Apparently in some countries users are going to straight to Amazon for their shopping searches and bypassing Google entirely.
- luckylion 7y agoIsn't that a general thing? I hate the quality of Amazon's internal search, but Google's results for shopping related queries are just atrocious in my country. There's barely-related Amazon-Products on the top 5 places, SEO spam on the next 10, a few shops on pages 2/3 and then scam shops.
- lern_too_spel 7y agoIf it took Google that long to implement it, another search engine will beat them to the punch by simply noting that many users search for this information and would be much happier to get it without clicking through to another site.
