FTC Report Provides Details about How Google Manipulates Search Market



Digital Marketing Agency, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) report will give you insight about how Google has manipulated the search market to favor of its own services. Google has deployed anti-competitive tactics to maintain and enhance its monopoly in search advertising, the report reveals.
According to the report, Google "adopted a strategy of demoting, or refusing to display, links to certain vertical websites in highly commercial categories," meaning that the company altered its search algorithm to benefit its owned-and-operated properties, while harming its competitors.
Findings in the document show that Google illegally took content from its rivals, including Yelp and Amazon with Google using Amazon's sales rankings to rank its own items.
