           Day to help shoppers buy for all their Valentines this

WHEN:      February 7, 2007

WHY:       Finding the perfect Valentines Day gift for your sweetheart
           is hard enough, but what about looking for two? According
           to a recent survey commissioned by Google Checkout(TM) and
           conducted by Harris Interactive, 1 out of every 2 (52%)
           U.S. adult Valentine's Day shoppers(a) will be buying gifts
           for more than one Valentine this year - for their spouses,
           for their parents and other family members, for their pets,
           and maybe even for multiple sweethearts.

           What's more, 43% of U.S. adults who plan to buy a gift for
           their significant other reported that they plan to buy him
           or her more than one, while 41% of U.S. online adults who
           typically buy at least one gift plan to visit more than one
           website in search of those gifts. With all these
           sweethearts to shop for, gifts to buy, and stores to visit,
           Google Checkout is making the process faster and easier.

           Through February 15, first-time shoppers on Google Checkout
           will receive $10 off a one-time purchase of at least $10.
           This offer is being featured on a wide variety of Google
           Checkout's thousands of merchant partners, including
           Buy.com, Zales, Jockey, Bluefly, Aeropostale, and new
           partner Blue Nile.

           Buying with Google Checkout has never been easier. Google
           Checkout eliminates an average of 15 steps from the online
           checkout process, in many cases making checking out as
           simple as entering a single login - and helping the
           Casanovas out there save time and trouble when buying gifts
           for all their sweethearts.

           So whether you still need to come up with another gift for
           your sweetheart (according to the survey, men are more
           likely to buy multiple gifts for their significant other
           than women are), or whether you need something cute for
           your furry friend (pets are expected to get more love than
           fathers and grandfathers), Google Checkout can help.

Survey Methodology

(a) The survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive([R]) on behalf of Google from January 16 to 18, 2007 among 2,214 adults (aged 18 and over), of which 1,546 typically buy at least one Valentine's Day gift (referred to as "Valentine's Day shoppers"). Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the general population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online. Where appropriate, figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region, household income and hours per week spent online were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the online population.

With a pure probability sample of 1,546, one could say with a ninety-five percent probability that the overall results have a sampling error of +/- four percentage points. Sampling error for subsamples would be higher and would vary. However, that does not take other sources of error into account. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and, therefore, no theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
