Why Google AdSense for Shopping?
Google’s AdSense for Shopping program is designed around providing retailers more opportunity to convert browsers on site.
“It provides a simple path to purchase for users searching for products on high-quality retail-oriented websites and an additional high-margin revenue stream for retailers that allow these units on their sites.” – Google
Along with more product exposure on site, AdSense for shopping is an opportunity to increase mobile traffic; point browsers back to relevant results on Google and provide a more robust search experience for shoppers on site.
How can I sign up for AdSense for Shopping?
AdSense for Shopping is currently in beta for a limited number of publishers, with the option for new retail publishers to opt in using Google’s AdSense for Shopping interest form.
