|
|
It’s the Monday after Thanksgiving / Black Friday, which means many people will dub today Cyber Monday, a horrendous marketing term that refers to yet another one of the busiest days of the year for retail.
And while Microsoft has been making many online shoppers happy the past few days with the Bing Cashback system, Google has now set up a special ‘Checkout Deals’ page where you can get discounts on products purchased using Mountain View’s Internet payment system.
Savings range from $5 to $20 and involve hundreds of participating stores, including Buy.com, Petco and Toys”R”Us.
I’m left wondering why that Deals page wasn’t launched a week ago.

I got the google email with all that, advertising buy dot com, amazon, toys r us etc. It was a few days after getting the email about Google Checkout Holiday 2009 Promotion, where we advertise Google Checkout in exchange for special checkout button.
The wife pointed out that Google (and other sites) are always asking us to advertise for them, never reciprocate, and then we get emails advertising buy dot com et al. Where is our advertising she asked. I don't really have an answer for that. With the data they collect, Google could easily send out a limited number of targeted ads for web merchants who advertise for Google, quid pro quo. But they don't ... so I may not participate this year. I think going forward, with Google or anyone else, they're going to have to ante up before I help advertise their campaigns. |
