In terms of what we can talk about publicly, Google had a search deal with MySpace that was worth $900m over 3 years. Your quoted numbers combined over the three years the contract was in effect barely reflect that. And the Google deal was just for remnant advertising - MySpace made a solid income selling display advertising, 'take over homepages' (worth $$$), etc.

I don't know anything beyond the sources I listed in this post and have no idea if the quoted information is correct or not. (I could perhaps try to find transcriptions from the actual calls, but I'm not going to do that.) But just so we're on the page (you said the numbers barely reflect the $900 million), the revenue numbers I listed were for fiscal 2006-2008 while the contract was for fiscal 2007-2009 so looking at fiscal 2008 and 2009, this data suggests that Google provided only around 60% of their revenue during this time. I wouldn't call that 'barely', although it still might not properly reflect their revenue from other sources.
