Advertisements don't cost nearly that much. My guess would be somewhere in the vicinity of $5-$10/month.. for all ads on all web pages you look at everywhere.

Though I could be off by an order of magnitude, for some people.
- rayiner 14y agoThe value of Google is probably way beyond $5-10 a month for most people. I'd imagine they'd be able to charge much more.

Charging much more would mean targeting a completely different market segment with a fraction of the size of Google's current search and email users. It's a strategy to consider, given the "desirability" of GMail users vs Yahoo users[1], but behavior of most people is highly likely to change when going from free to not free. 1. http://blog.opower.com/2012/06/the-triumph-of-gmail-how-yahoo-users-are-spending-110-more-per-year-on-electricity-2/ http://blog.opower.com/2012/06/the-triumph-of-gmail-how-yaho...
