yeah its "Forget Your Rideā€”Pimp Your Web Service /product" on Gbase :)-

What is keepin me away... is the transaction processing methods.. still pretty fuzzy in terms of buying/selling.. if only they (ggog) linked in with paypal , it would be great then I can pimp myself!!

Since the day GoogleBase launched I've been uploading my product data feed. For quite a while I've seen transactions with Googlebase tracking code coming from both google.com/search as well as froogle.google.com

GoogleBase outperforms Froogle revenue by 2 to 1.

Sorry /pd i don't quite get what you mean. How can you "pimp" yourself with google base?

And I thought the buying and selling methods were meant to be much easier than paypal, as you can just use your Google account.

So is Google taking a small commision for selling items?

Vast.com has an open api of 4.8 Millions Jobs (plus millions of cars and personals) that other search engines can add into their results pages tomorrow! They can use it for commercial purposes, and be first to market on this. Why don't they?
