Product listing adverts affect on organic

[pauledwards]

After reading there will be a drop down arrow on product listing adverts, which will push organic results down to display 16 products:

I wondered how badly this is going to affect anyone in organic e-commerce? is this going to be rolled out for every term and have a drop down arrow for each one?

Is organic going to die with e-commerce now?

Thoughts much appreciated.

I hope your right David, I hope this doesn't screw organic ctr%

I would like to think people who click the drop down bar would have clicked the pla anyway before it was there.

True but keep in mind people want more then just a pic and price so they go to sites to read reviews see demos and videos etc - Our job now is to have sites that offer info google does not

I just wonder how many will now click the drop down menu?

Its just a option to pull down, some will pull down others will scroll to the listings so seo for eCommerce isn't dead - That being said google is cutting into the organic traffic across to board with features and business are ending up with less and less.
