Google is a renowned search engine which in 1998 was initiated by a couple of Stanford PhD students. Its key operation is to classify and categorize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Over the years Google has transformed into a mega-platform for sharing of information. And to add to it, the advertisements that one can put on Google have given a whole new meaning to online marketing. Google has expanded far beyond its search capabilities with numerous other services, applications, and tools. The unique one is that Google distributes its products for free, and as they have a big community for each product, Google gets its revenue by selling advertising online. Web site publishers couldn’t be more thrilled by Google’s move to allow adds to appear on any search, regardless of what the input is. 97 percents of Google’s revenues come from online advertising.
