Google Checkout Badges
The Google checkout badges, which have formed part of the AdWords listings for over four years, have been dropped by Google.
According to eCommerceCircle, Google reportedly said, “We’re making this change to improve the user experience on Google search results pages.”
The move comes as Google looks to freshen up their operations with the new +1 badge. This new badge is designed as a way of endorsing a post, website or search result. It will act similarly to the Facebook “Like” button.
If you want to know more about the new +1 button and how it could affect the Search Engine Optimisation for your business, contact Areatrade.
