No its the other way around. Google, like Yahoo, pays ISP's and browser companies to add their search bar to there browsers.
It's advertising people. ADVERTISING! Just like TV. Just like radio. Just like newspapers. There is no mystery here. Advertising, services like Google checkout and affiliate programs. That's how they make money. They sell stuff. What is so hard to grasp about this? Most ISP's use search from larger companies. No mystery here either. My ISP doesn't have it's own search engine and yours probably doesn't either.
I think they usually get their income on adwords as well as campaign and ads from people ....The more traffic they have the more clients they can get and people offering them huge money for ads ..For ads alone I think they can survive already
Well google started obtaining their revenue from private investors for a percentage stake in their company. Nowadays most of their revenue comes from google adwords and investors through their publicly traded stock. Take a look at GOOG on NASDAQ. Other search engines like yahoo and bing are deriving their revenue through similar sources.
Google doesn't pay anyone to include their search bar into their browsers or their websites. Google created the ability for people to add this functionality to their projects as needed. In turn google gets more info and insight into the different search patterns that people use. This adds to the spreading and strengthening of Googles brand. This knowledge also is compiled with all of their own server side analytics which is googles main overall service.
google owns many water clear plants in USA.Check youtube for details .Google also invested in many other business .Beside adwords they also have other tools where they charge money .Also some other search engines takes google backings in providing search results .they have some mobile phone models and their speacial mobile apps. Only ON Youtube, if you want to advertise 1st question they asks is about your budget. if you select under £50,000 they not going to reply . Hope that answers your question .
All the people who use Adwords, this is why Google tends to like big business who advertise with them.
Google has its own advertising network.Not even just for search engine but you can generate revenue from your site as well by giving advertisement in your site.
