Must Read

Of all of the modern conspiracy theories out there, the most fun and interesting of them all involves Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG). Big G is the – eye in the sky – right next to the government, watching everything you do, recording all the keystrokes.

The amount of information gathered by the search giant is incredible. But from a marketing perspective, it’s simply amazing. However, many marketers are weary of trusting a company like Google because it primarily operates for profit. Why distrust this profit motive?

Some people believe that there’s something inherently dishonest about making money. Others view it as a necessarily evil. Still others view it as basically good, with some inherent contradictions that are necessary for the system to work.

Regardless of how you view the profit motive, one thing is clear : Google’s business is driven by it, and there’s nothing remotely opaque about that fact. From clicks to page views, the giant search company organizes the world’s information in such a way so as to extract maximum dollars from it. It needs to – practically all of its income comes from those tiny classified ads on its display and the search network.

And, advertisers pay, big time, to the tune of $38 billion a year (and growing). Here’s how it all breaks down. Before you jump to the infographic below, here are a few highlights:
