Google makes money by showing ads to people who want to buy things.
If everyone goes to eBay and Amazon instead of Google to buy things, no one will buy ads from Google.
If Google can provide a compelling alternative to eBay and Amazon, they reduce the risk that people stop shopping on Google and that people stop buying ads on Google.
This looks like Google focusing on their bottom line.
- mbreese 14y agoBut they aren't exactly targeting online shopping via Google. They are using established retailers that aren't exactly known for showing Google ads on their sites. So, I don't quite see how this fits.
