1) Google Shopping should provide a positive experience to users. Showing users the right products at the right time can truly enhance a user's experience. When people trust us to deliver them to a destination that's relevant, original, and easy to navigate this creates a positive online experience to the benefit of both users and merchants.
2 ) Google Shopping should be safe for all users. User safety is everyone's business, and we can't do business with those who don't agree. Scams, phishing, viruses, and other malicious activities on the Internet damage the value of the Internet for everyone. Trying to get around policies or "game the system" is unfair to our users, and we can't allow that.
I saw this on another forum. Thought it might be a hoax. Its not. If you just type in 22 ammo and hit the shopping link. No items come up. Now try that with say, umbrella, lots of things pop up. So its true it seems.
so let me get this straight.....
snippet from the articles email.
Yet I can freely search for porn and xxx related material? How is that keeping "everyone safe"
I'm now back on Mozilla Firefox. Of course, the Firefox home page uses Google as its search engine, so that's getting dumped. I'll guess I'll check out Startpage. I used Google Shopping results several times a week for significant purchases. Now, anything Google can kiss my ass.
TBG: Did you notice that Startpage is "Enhanced by Google?"
I'll keep looking around.
For now, Bing it is!
It is amazing how companies are willing to sacrifice profit in the name of political views, especially when it comes to sending an anti-gun message. They tick off way more people than they impress. Any company thinking of something like this should consider the number of NRA members and compare that to the number of Brady members. Comparing the membership numbers for the largest pro-gun and anti-gun advocacy groups, we arrive at 4 million + for the NRA, and less than 28,000 for the Brady Campaign, according to wikipedia.
Even people that don't like guns are likely to get ticked off at censored results. Even if you don't like guns, that does not mean you don't want to be able to see how much they cost and who is selling them. How are you going to be able to write your dumb papers about how guns are too easy to get if you can't cite the numerous website selling guns and ammo?
My new shopping search engine:
http://www.bing.com/shopping/
5.56 Ammo in google shopping search = no results
5.56 Ammo in Bing search = results like what you used to get with Google.
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd prefer Microsoft products to Google ones.
