15% growth on 130 Billion is 19.5 Billion.
Aka Google's yearly growth is larger than all of Amazon's Ad rev.

- dredmorbius 7y agoAmazon doesn't have to profit on ads. Amazon can profit on actual product sales. Google lacks that luxury.
- YeahSureWhyNot 7y agoactually, Amazon has not profited from sales of physical products.

But that made me realize: Amazon's profit lies with AWS, the infrastructure that was originally for their ecommerce operation. But their ecommerce has forced many other retailers to streamline their operations... I wonder how many ended up using AWS as part of that effort.
