So, what Google Checkout has to offer?? For customers, i don't think there is anything really special actually, it is almost the same as the two other online shopping portal i mentioned above.But as for merchants, it is a different story. Google offers incentives to them such as: 1.for every 1 dollar spent on Adword, the merchant can process 10 dollars in sales for free 2.there will a Google Checkout badge at every Adword the merchant has - showing to users that this guy is registered with Google Checkout For starters, Google Checkout seems to be doing quite good. It has managed to attract or persuade companies like Timberland, Starbucks and Dockers to use Google Checkout as the payment processing company. OK, that's all, i have done a big sin today by posting this entry :( , please don't hate me because i wrote about an unrelated topic. My intentions are good, wanna share news with you guys :)
