How does google make money? There's no adverts or anything on it, yet it's supposedly worth several billion pounds.

No adverts on it? Have you ever used it? Go to it now and type in, say, "House" and look at all those advertisements on the right-hand side. Search again for something like "CDs" and you get the second type of advert - "Sponsored Links" at the top of your search results.

By only showing you adverts that have something to do with your search request (targeted ads), Google can charge a lot more for them. Much more than ordinary and untargeted banner ads, pop-ups and pop-unders.

It's still a cracking search engine, though. And if they want to make some money by putting adverts on, I don't really mind AS LONG AS:
i) It's clear what is and what is not an advert; ii) Banner ads aren't used; iii) Pop-ups and pop-unders are abolished and made punishable by death.

Oops, can't say I've ever noticed them! I guess I'm just used to looking for annoying banners and what not.
I do believe they are about to float on the Stock Exchange in a few months if I heard the news correctly.
