I often use google shopping when I’m looking at items in categories I’m not familiar with. About half the time there is a store charging significantly less than the others. I’ll open a new tab ask Google search AI if the site is legit, and 95% of the time the response is that it’s a well known scam site. So the anemic search AI knows it’s a scam, but google shopping has no problem sending people there (likely with an affiliate code).

Sounds like you pay less for ads than someone else will. Attention is the currency in the world, pay more and your site will be on top, clearly there are customers that want your product.

You work for a company? Why hasn't your company sued Google for creating this problem yet?
