How does google get money?

[erwin1978]

Let me get this straight, google earns cash everytime someone goes to the website and does a search? Every click of the links returned by a query result in gold coins into their piggy banks? Zowwy!

Google is run by the Mafia.

They make money the old fashioned way...drugs and prostitution.

Even Google's search algorithm isn't that good.

I HIGHLY doubt that. They may have total equity of that amount, but that's cause they went public and enjoyed some of that 1999-sorta vaporware craze.

OP, seriously you're stupid if you don't know how Google makes their money.

Type in a word in Google and look around on a search page and figure where they make their money.
