I remember someone saying that Google's only successful product (other than search) is Gmail. Actually very true if you think about it.

- jdp23 16y agoAd Words/Ad Sense is very successful. So I'd say 2 1/2 tracks (with Gmail as the 1/2).
- alanh 16y agoI think their ads are considered part of search, it’s “just” monetization of product/trick #1
- jdp23 16y agoNot really. More than half their ad revenue comes from other properties besides search. And they made significant breakthroughs on advertising in its own right that were independent from search.
- cpeterso 16y agoDo you have any more details about Google's non-ad revenue? If I read Google's 2010 financial summary correctly, it seems 97% of their revenue is from ads: * 66% Google Web Sites' Advertising Revenues * 31% Google Network Web Sites' Advertising Revenues * 3% Other Revenues http://investor.google.com/financial/tables.html http://investor.google.com/financial/tables.html
