Google still makes most (~90%) of its revenue from search.
All the other products need to be[come] succusful for them to be considered alternatives for revenue.

No, it makes about that much from advertising, but "Google websites" -- mostly, but not only, search -- are only 71.3% of Google revenue.

- samfisher83 10y agoThey don't break it down, but I am guess profit margin for search is much higher than things like youtube since with youtube they need to send some money to copyright holders. I wonder how profitable it is? If it was super profitable they would be breaking it down. When AWS started doing well Amazon broke down how much AWS was making.
