Interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing.

One has to wonder if the other site will get pushed even higher in the searches now.

Probably because they are both large US multinationals and eBid is a UK independent business. US based multinationals are trying to take over with the aid of TTIP.

Humm ... thought eBid was meant to have a partnership with Google so why are they opening up over there ?!

A one sided partnership?

My thoughts as well Becky especially since Google & the Darkside had trouble getting along with one another.

I always thought that the relationship between eBid and Google was a business one. eBid pay Google per click for a service that Google provide. I don't think there is anything special about it.

If that is all it was Tony then why did they make a point of mentioning that they were in partnership with Google on the old front page of the eBid site ? I don't think they would have done that if all they were doing was just using Google's services like everyone else ?

Probably like the UK/US 'Special Relationship', doesn't actually exist but is cited by the dominant party when they want something - otherwise ignored.
