How DOES Google Make Money?


Google made about $ 37.9 billion in 2011 thanks to travel and tourism, retailers, insurance companies, and many other prominent industries.

About 96% of Google’s annual revenue comes from online advertising. If you have never heard of sponsored links, I’m sure you have seen them. When you perform a search in Google, sponsored links appear on the right side of the screen. These are advertisers that make a business agreement with Google in order to get their ads displayed alongside the results of the most appropriate searches. Google also uses Adwords, a system that allows a potential advertiser to specify the search terms they would like to specify as the words that, when searched, will display their ads. Lastly Google offers a program called AdSense; this is a program where website owners can sign up for ads on a website that is contextually relevant to what they offer and that way the ad owner and site owner all make money.

Google makes money in multiple ways and as a business owner and potential advertiser it is important to know how the thing you are signing up for works.
