Default Is Google Shopping Blocking Natural Supplements Searches?

This came up on another forum, dont know whether its a computer glitch or a policy change. It appears that natural supplements are not coming up on searches by US Google Shopping users, but are still coming up on users in other parts of the world. If your in the US check to see if your blocked on searches for any of the items listed in the article (using the Google "SHOPPING" link.)

If you are blocked theres instructions on how to contact Google and ask them whats going on.

I try to avoid Google. It's large and invasive. Seems to be a pattern, as thing get big, they get invasive and tyrannical.

I use IXQuick for searching.

Mindy, if you do a search for VITAMIN C, for example, and then click on shopping, you get no results, except for the sponsored ad links....

I got blank results as well... that really sucks!

Merchants should spend their marketing $$ where they will get results. Obviously Google doesn't GAF.
