Everyone knows Google's search engine, and many rely on it
every day to find anything they might be looking for. For webmasters too,

numbers to hot-map.com were on a mysterious decline.

Google has made proposals to try to address the Commission's four competition concerns. Interested parties can now submit their comments within one month. The Commission will take them into account in its analysis of Google's commitment proposals. If the Commission concludes that they address its four competition concerns, it may decide to make them legally binding on Google.
