Yes. Google just care about money these days. They are introducing charges for everything. I think however that this is a bad idea. Paid inclusion is bad. They should make advertising more expensive/prominent in product search but paid inclusion seems against the Google ethos. Bit silly really.
don't you know that google bots spend more time monitoring ads than crawling pages. because ads brings them more money
Seriously....more search engines need to step up to compete with google and bing to bring more competition for search engine companies and less competition for the users of those search engines....need to level the playing field...Google is getting alittle to powerful in my humble opinion, I know they are just trying to grow and run a business but man...they are trying to buy all these start up companies and now this...its crazy
