The new yearly paid service from Google enables small businesses to customise the look of their search engines as well as tailor search results to push customers toward products the company wants to sell. A key advantage of the paid for service is that it will not produce keyword generated advertisements in the search results, a bone of contention for some companies who sometimes see ads from their competitors appear. Another advantage is the price, which starts at US$100 for small sites and is just US$500 for substantial sites of up to 50,000 pages. The small business search service, which is available in a variety of major European and Asian languages as well as English, could present Google with a significant new potential recurring revenue stream worth hundreds of millions of dollars annually. |
