Growing on Trees

April 24th, 2006 by James Harvey


Weve all had dreams of a money tree; our own slice of heaven as it were. So far science has come up empty. Turns out, however, there is one. Its called Google. Can you say $2.25 Billion for the QUARTER with $592.3 Million in profit! Thats a money tree.

A few interesting tidbits on their quarter from This article:

  1. According to Nielsen//NetRatings, a market research firm, 49 percent of U.S. online searches were at Googles sites in March, 22.5 percent at Yahoo and 10.9 percent at MSN.
  2. The total number of online searches conducted in the United States in March increased 15 percent from March 2005 to 6.4 billion, Nielsen//NetRatings found.
  3. During the quarter, Google spent $345 million purchasing property and equipment, and hired 1,110 new full-time employees for a total of 6,790 full-time employees.

Looks like we better get used to the Goog …
