...comes to looking up any and all information. What google has created is much more than a simple search engine. They’ve created a brand that has changed marketing in general. Google ADwords is an online advertising service. What google has done is created a level playing field for all advertisers, from small start-up companies to large fortune 500 companies. Adwords is Google’s main source of revenue. In 2012 Googles advertising revenue was about $43.7 billion. I think the personally the pricing aspect of Google’s marketing has been key to making it very successful. For example, you have thousands of people that walk through a major mall such as Roosevelt Field daily. There are kiosks set up with merchandise and employees being paid a salary to market and item or product to customers shopping. If a customer goes to the mall searching for a new handbag, they may no interest in stopping to purchase Tupperware. There’s simply no guarantee that you’ll be able to reach to consumers who are interested in the product you’re offering. The way Google Adwords works is the advertisers predefine certain key words and when a user searches those keywords it allows for advertisers to compete to display advertising copy. This allows advertisers to “trim the fat” or narrow down their target market. They know based on the keywords if the user is typing in Tupperware that there’s a likelihood that the user will be interested in their product. There also isn’t the waste in salary of a paid employee...

...payments and did not allowed pop-up ads. Yahoo! became partners with Google on 2000, which helped the company become the world’s leading search engine. Also, search was offered in different languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Its first foreign office was opened in Tokyo and by 2009 Google offered search options in 110 languages and had offices in dozens of countries. By August 2004, Google raised $1.6 billion on its initial public offering and on 2008 revenues hit $21.8 billion primarily from two advertising products AdWords and AdSense. AdWords bid in auctions for rights to keywords on specific geographical regions. On the other hand, AdSense delivered relevant keyword ads to a network of third-party publishers. In addition, Google offered a variety of other services such as Gmail, Picasa, Goggle Calendar, Blogger, Google Docs, Google Images, YouTube, Google News, Google Finance, Goggle Scholar, Goggle Maps, and Google Earth. Google originally served the Chinese market through it Chinese-language version, but it has to use Chinese Internet service providers. These providers filtered the search making slow and sometimes unavailable to Chinese users. In 2005, Google established a research and development center in China employing Chinese engineers which will help attract most of the Chinese market to use Google search engine. Finally, Google.cn was launched in 2006 making easier for Chinese to access all Google’s services. What Google did not take into consideration...

...Search Engine Industry History of search engine The need for search services grew with the expanding reach and magnitude of the World Wide Web. One of the earliest search services, Yahoo!, was a directory of sites selected and organized into categories by human editors. The Web soon grew too large for directory-based search. AltaVista invented technology that automated search, relying on software “spiders” that created a searchable index of page contents and on algorithms that ranked page relevance based on the frequency of keyword references. Yahoo! added AltaVista’s algorithmic search engine, but in 1998 replaced AltaVista with Inktomi, which used parallel-processing networks to offer faster processing and a larger index. As website developers exploited search algorithms by repeating keywords on their pages, searches increasingly returned irrelevant listings—”spam”—that frustrated users. In 1998, Sergey Brin and Larry Page tackled this problem as graduate students at Stanford. Their PageRank algorithm reliably delivered more relevant searches by favoring pages that were referenced—”linked to”—by other pages. These links were called “votes,” because they signaled that another page’s webmaster had decided that the focal page deserved attention. The focal page’s importance was determined by counting the number of votes it received, weighting votes more heavily when they were cast by pages that Google had previously deemed to be important. This approach required PageRank to...
