Search giant Google announced a major revamp of its image search business as it revealed that area of its search service is getting a billion page views every day.

Prudential Real Estate Affiliates, Inc., a Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU) company, today flowed at least 140,000 for-sale property listings to Internet hot spots Cyberhomes.com, Google Base(TM) and Oodle.

Even during a time when far fewer homes are selling -- the Bay Area total is down about 15 percent compared with last year's already slow season -- plenty of people are interested in researching real estate.

To kick off the online holiday shopping season, SingleFeed allows new merchants to try its Google Base data feed management, submission, and optimization service for just $0.99 for the first month. Regular pricing for the service is $9.99/month.

For outsiders looking in, Google's (GOOG) flurry of product releases can appear random and a bit confusing. In the past year, for instance, the search kingpin has unleashed everything from a blog search engine and a finance site to an instant messaging program and online spreadsheets.
