AOL should instead be looking at other top European players like zanox, which it could probably get for less than half of the TradeDoubler's bid. Much more momentum and growth there and understand original managment is still on board and expanding company aggressively internationally.]]>

It would seem that what Google is confirming cannot be confirmed by those within Google. Indeed.

Great article nonetheless :)]]>
Google Checkout Flexing Muscle http://seekingalpha.com/article/18351-google-checkout-flexing-muscle?source=feed#comment-72060 72060 Thu, 26 Oct 2006 16:09:33 -0400 www.ecomcity.com/safeh... They sure know the PPCSE search term arbritage game regarding brand names when paying their monthly search partner bills to Google.

Capturing the shoppers privacy information at the point of sale always was the holy grail of direct marketers. Just ask the MetaRewards folks. An earlier article here on Shopping.com (Oct 6th) launching a single session multi-merchant shopping cart with PayPal checkout bastardizes my Safe Haven Sales network model with their hidden gottcha. True it launches them into a CPA revenue network model turning each merchant's product feed into both a PPCSE keyword fee and/or per sale commission source. Conflicts arise on both who owns the customer and who spins what happens to all the samll Shopping.com Dealtime.com affiliates driving traffic to those sites.

Needless to say the Google Checkout folks rather work on a model where the consumer doesn't become a victim of the Adwhores.]]>

Also, it's interesting in that Shopping.com (along with many others it competes with) has always been troubled by its merchant partners' disdain for their bidding on brand names/performing arbitrage in search engines. Now Shopping.com wants to get hands on more customer data -- to own them (via their universal cart move). Should be interesting!]]>
