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.

when you search for a certain thing, do you notice there is a box on the right side? company pays to have it placed there by google. if you click on it, google get pays.

iirc, google revenue is 7 billion.

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

google revenue

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.

"Sponsored Links"
"Ads By Google"
-targeted ads based on what you search/receive emails on.

9.3B...not too shabby.
