Google records $1 billion profits

Google has just announced their first quarter results. Profits are up by 69% to $1 billion. Gross revenue is up by 63% to $3.66 billion.

Having investigated further I've found that Google Adwords revenue, up 76%, appears to be growing faster than Adsense - up just 45%.

Google's results come just 2 days after Yahoo announced first quarter profits fell by 11%.

Google is clearly exploiting its leadership position in search.

 

Yes Google is profiting big time, lets just hope they don't bite the hand that feeds them like they seem keen on doing....

 

Funny that their profits have jumped and yet by the sounds of it, a lot of people here are getting cash deducted from their Adsense accounts for various reasons..... (not me, I haven't mady anything yet lol)

 

Go google!! Yea, they kept purchasing profitable company, google rocks!

 

Revenue Summary first quarter of 2007

Google Site : $2.28 billion (+76%)
Adsense : $1.35 billion (+45%)

International Revenues: $1.71 billion
US Revenues : $1.93 billion

 

They should give everyone a free day of advertising :\

 

One of the best informations i have seen so far this year.Where in the world did you get this anyway?

And thank you very much for sharing this to the forum

 

google does seem to own the market on search engines. they're like the wal-mart of the internet.

 

Google makes $10 kajillion dollars, publishers make 5-10 cents per click, sounds about right.

 

No wonder, the rest of the world are still waiting for YPN and it hasn't happened. Don't they know that this is the technological age where things are supposed to happen FAST??
If anyone could compete with adsense, it would be them. So what do they do??.... make a mess of it.

 

maybe their increase income might pararel with our decrease of income. they reduce payout for adsense for their own profit XD

 

just wait till they move until the mobile space which is in the works

 

Wow.. That's a lot of money. I wonder if they are donating some of those to charity.

I agree. I cannot believe how incompetent Yahoo is

They could buy Google several years ago. Look at them now

 

Yawho?

How many Billions in a Google? Surely it is more than that!

 

Have they filed with the SEC yet?

 

Waaaa! Give me one percent lor!

 

Google should buy eBay. it's a perfect merger.

 

Google is not quite big enough to buy Ebay...yet.

 

YouTube?

Well..to buy Ebay is impossible for any company out there. Ebay's market cap is $45 billion. To buy a company like Ebay you would need to pay around $55-60 billion. Too much isn't it?

I think Google will buy ValueClick for its CJ.com property (CPA market), but I assume MSFT and YHOO will file complaints to anti-trust authorities.

ValueClick is a great buy for NewsCorp, Google, Yahoo, and MSFT.
