Google launches a Cost Per Acquisition system: http://internet.seekingalpha.com/article/12363

The fix to PPC fraud :)
WG

very interesting thanks for the link

it will disapear just like everything else they have done (excluding search and adsense/adwords

True. But I see their PPC model lingering for quite a long time.

Wow
How do we get products in them?

yep, gmail just disappeared

how can google track leads or the purchase of a product? cookie code would have to be placed on the order form and if thats a 3rd party that can't be done.


input plz!

SWEET! I love Google, their ads and PICASA -- check out Picasa web albums - super easy to build and share! Love love LOVE google!

I agree, but I do think CPA will be the desired method that merchants will want to push, less risk and fraud for everyone.

Why cant that be done? If I had a product I wanted to offer I would add the pixel to my confirm page.

Where were they when I was working for a mainstream dotcom trying sell cpa in a world of cpm lol

great. another free email service. maybe if we're lucky, we'll get an 'IM'. How about Orkut? Google Co-Op... uh... wtf is that anyway? Do you know anyone who uses Froogle? I don't. they use eBay.

so now they want to be tough guys and try to do what Sun failed at. Unseat MSFT in the office/productivity platform.

small to large enterprises are NOT going to start putting their sensitive data online. Nobody is going to throw away decades of training on MSFT office applications for some online bullshit 'AJAX' web 2.0 pile of dog cocks. If Open Office couldn't do it - Google won't be able to.

Google has no clothes

Your logic is very fuzzy. Log into your adsense account and dig around for answers.

what's stopping you from shaving google by not displaying that pixel 30% of the time?

google is straight up crazy naa mean

Nothing but

A They have alot smarter people than me, my guys and a tool bar. Who knows what they can and cant track via that

B I want to convert as well as possible with their CPA network so they will push my stuff more

C I dont need to shave to make a profit

finally someone that is not caught up in googles bs hype. if googles crap wasn't free no one would pay to use it.

Google runs the largest affiliate program on the web. You simple can not ignore that

Google will take 85% of the comission for serving the ads and - US VAT if you have a non-US company.
Fuck that.

Though it could be a good revenue stream for shop owners.
Adult is banned.
So fuck them :)

Exactly. Their huge size and network reach and rate of growth cannot be ignored.

the right way to go

I doubt i'll work with them unless they somehow just blow all of the competition out of the water. I really hate working with huge mega corporations where i'm just a small drop in a bucket if i'm not pushing $10M/sales a month unless absolutely neccessay

Google are innovators. Watch Microsoft jump on this.

and other than their adwords/adsense program (awesome, no doubt), where are their other streams of revenue?

Imagine this: Yahoo or MSFT decide to go to war with GOOG.

first target, their publisher network.

YAHOO decides to go ahead and take a loss on their publisher network business and payout %140 to publishers. How long do you think current adsense users would stick around before flocking to Yahoo?

yahoo could do it, because they have many MANY streams of income. Google has ONE. If they steal Goog's publisher program, that's - what - 20-25% of Goog's income? (i haven't read the 10q, so i may be wrong).

And as I stated before, other than their search engine and advertising platform, what else have they really done? they hired 50 jillion PHds and we got 'Google Co-Op'
