Hi, Google Product Search is not like other price comparison services cos it neither charges any fees for listings, nor accepts payment for products to show up first. Oh and also, it makes no commission on sales. That's not all any company can submit individual product information via Google Base or can bulk submit items for inclusion, which makes google product a great tool. F.L.

Google could charge a fee and it would still be a huge hit if it was maintained properly. There are so many companies running duplicate feeds and otherwise not playing by the rules it's largely irrelevant.

I agree - Froogle is an awesome service by Google. Theoretically it does provide the best competition possible, regardless of company stature, which is good for startup companies trying to get a footing. I think Google rocks.
Google never runs out of creative ideas. They will always offer products for free with tons of profits at the back of the mind.
