(Continued) The RFS Newsletter, Oct. 22, 2005. Page 5
In other news and without any fanfare, comparison shopping search engine Froogle updated its website Thursday. There are many changes, but here are the main ones:

* The sponsored links (Google AdWords) are no longer flooding the right side of the page (note to Froogle: you need to update your About Us section to reflect this change), but rather have been more elegantly placed across the top of most Froogle pages. This simple change makes the site a lot more cleaner.

* Search result pages and product pages have been streamlined and now look more like the pages of other comparison engines.

* Google has moved beyond text links! Froogle is using a ‘Compare prices’ button as opposed to the standard text link.

* If you type in iPod, an iPod actually comes up first. This is a major improvement. In the past, iPod accessories would show up above iPods. Maybe Froogle has finally worked out some relevancy issues?
