story: http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/050421/earns_google.html?.v=9 Pretty amazing Q1 numbers for GOOG, $329million in earnings vs $64 million last year same quarter. A good amount more than analysts had expected, and it would have been a lot more without some charges related to special stock transactions for employees. Here's an excerpt that publishers will find very interesting: "Revenue totaled $1.26 billion....After subtracting commissions that Google paid to other Web sites in its advertising network, the company's first-quarter revenue was $794.5 million."
about 0.00000001% of that revenue was generated by me.. (or maby a couple of more zero's!) The earnings for google this quarter is amazing, the online advertising market is growing like crazy! Is see some people complaining about ppc is over the top, but I believe this is just the beginning.
Yahoo also has some amazing results. Looks like the net boom is here once more... and this time I am part of it!!! Let's just hope it doesn't crash again
