Google puts deals on homepage
Search engine Google has promoted a daily deals offer on its home page for the first time, a rare instance of the internet giant using its prized online real estate for advertising and a warning shot to current market leader Groupon. The pair are vying for advertising dollars from local businesses, such as restaurants and retail stores. Google made 96 per cent of its $29bn (£17.9bn) revenues last year from advertising.
