- mattnyc99, on 06/18/2008, -1/+16GOOOOOOOG
- orlyfactor, on 06/19/2008, -3/+17April 17? I'm surprised the word "BREAKING" wasn't in the title.
- jjgames, on 06/18/2008, -0/+10Not too surprising that google isn't hurt by the economy, people still search for stuff.
- inactive, on 06/18/2008, -3/+11Google will continue to grow because they have such a superb staff. They are always looking to expand domestically, and internationally. I would watch out for this company because they just might take over the world.
- nateking1, on 06/19/2008, -0/+7They have way too many advertisers, over 250k, to be hurting from the slowing economy. Ads still need to be bought, people still search, people still buy...
- agisten, on 06/18/2008, -0/+5The reason is simple : The Web advertising wasn't hurt by slow economy because this Industry is only in it's pampers and has humongous growth potential.
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4I'm fully convinced they are secretly running a plot to take over the world. Give them time. This company is an absolute machine.
- Screwy1138, on 06/19/2008, -0/+4Beware the Board of Directors. They always screw up good companies.
- Ridgeliner7, on 06/18/2008, -3/+6But oil company profits, and what they pay their employees are "obscene". LMAO!
- StevieJanowski, on 04/02/2009, -1/+4more people out of work googling random stuff will keep google in business for a long time
- yojiffyskippy, on 06/19/2008, -1/+4They're searching, they're just not buying. Which does highlight the fact that their ad money isn't based on people actually BUYING anything. It's genius! Contrary to all the critics, history will show that Google's business model was even more brilliant than the model used by a little software company and a little program called BASIC.
- GeauxLSU, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3Where is the Google profit windfall tax plan?
- Samas11, on 06/19/2008, -0/+3*their
...I'm sorry! I had to do it!! - mcnasby, on 06/19/2008, -0/+2People still buy. At times, for certain products on certain sites, it's mind blowing, but very true. I'm currently going through paid search training at my (ecommerce) company and I have been blown away by the data I've been looking through. Needless to say, the ROI for paid search campaigns (Google/Yahoo/MSN) is astounding.
Disclaimer: My company works with some of the top ecommerce sites, so I'm not sure how well these results hold up for smaller mom and pop shops. - thesupergeek, on 06/18/2008, -3/+5Google will always report growths unless I kill them all.
- macewan, on 06/19/2008, -0/+2Google will continue to grow revenue until Microsoft unplugs the Internet.
- Atomic1fire, on 06/19/2008, -0/+2that's because while people wont drive as much they will surf the internet and what better way then with google.
- yojiffyskippy, on 06/19/2008, -1/+2DIGG Posting Requirements & Guidelines Section 3.3.24
3.3.24 Any posting with "BREAKING" in the headline must have a dateline within the current decade. - emeow, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1No big surprise they're still doing well. Google has already become a verb... ("it's true, just google it!") ... and they're ads are actually relevant and not annoying and in your face like other sites.
- stephenhacking, on 06/19/2008, -1/+2Google will only take a hit if online marketing takes a hit.
- Azriel7, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1I was just looking at their stock prices yesterday and they were at $600 a share. I still can't believe I didn't jump on this when I had a chance.
- skunkman62, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1not surprising because this article is 2 months old.RTFA people before you digg. dumb asses
- SilverSeraph, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1sounds gay!
- mal1964, on 06/19/2008, -1/+2Clicking ads doesn't mean people are buying. I'm guessing people are doing more comparison shopping before buying..
- pw378, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1I can believe you didn't jump on it earlier... because when it was $300 you couldn't believe you didn't buy at $150.. when it was $150 you couldn't believe you didn't buy at the IPO at $85...
Google loves the true believers... :) - GhostFreeman, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1What? Everyone knows MrBabyMan has the only Internet On/Off Switch
- jambojack, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1simple yet solid business model always wins
- Rizoh, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Well, of course, Google is the behemoth of search. Whether rich or broke, people will always be searching for something. Plus, the sky-high gas prices is forcing more people to stay home and work on their computers.
- ranon78, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Google "reduced" the clickable area of ads. It enhanced user experience, even though it affected their revenue in the short term.
That's why I love Google. - BetterOffEd, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1No matter what happens in whatever sector of the economy, Google will always come out on top...
Economy's good, and you've got money to burn? Google's got an ad for ya.
You need to scale back and buy secondary goods? Google's got ads for that too.
They get the click cash either way. The way this company is able to so consistently generate revenue and turn a profit is nothing short of amazing. It's damn near unfair... - JurisAnonimus, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1With added ad sales growth in a slowing economy, clearly, google is offering less value for your advertising money. These stats are telling.
- anthortic, on 06/19/2008, -0/+0you rock for that crazy comment
- ZedoMann, on 06/19/2008, -0/+0Dogpile is better than Google.
- TotalDouche, on 06/19/2008, -1/+1Yes! I LOVE 2-month-old business articles that are now obsolete! Digg it up!
- excel321, on 06/19/2008, -0/+0Did anyone else posting here realize that Google posted Q1 results more than 3 months ago.
This is not old news, this is PRE-HISTORIC in Wall Street sense,
The real test for Google will be on July 18th when the post Q2 results and that will really justify if they can hold on to that 120$ spike in stock price because of Q1 results or not - Rizoh, on 06/19/2008, -1/+1o---k...lol
- GhostFreeman, on 06/19/2008, -1/+1Also water is wet. More at 11.
- WomensUnderwear, on 06/19/2008, -0/+0even the slowest advertiser eventually twigs as to the concept of 'conversions' and 'return on investment' which is where your argument gets flushed down the *****
- joeanon, on 06/19/2008, -1/+1Nah, internet advertising revenue is down.
Google is just eating up everyone else's cake and at this rate they'll be eating their own.
See the bad side of basing your company on advertising is that you have no real tangible product. Advertising isn't even proven all that effective. Almost all google's profit come from BS.
Just like Walmart posting gains during the recessing, there is less money in internet advertising and that means less diversity and more banking on the known successes.
Google is releasing this to counter the news that internet ad revenue unexpected declined slightly. - theNazz, on 06/19/2008, -1/+1That's because their goddamn toolbar installs by default with so many programs these days... people too stupid to read their installation wizards end up with the Google Desktop, Google Earth, Google Toolbar... without ever knowing how it even got on their PC.
- inactive, on 06/18/2008, -2/+2So, Google and Yahoo! are going to be allowing eachother to advertise on their networks... so Google ads on Yahoo!, and Yahoo! ads on Google. That'll be interesting.
- Vodd9, on 06/19/2008, -2/+1Google is our savior.
- roliver, on 06/19/2008, -2/+1you'd think with all the money Schmidt makes he could at least afford a chin tuck...serious turkey neck happening....sheeeesh dude
