    		Google collects pages by use of a 'spider' that connects pages with keywords. Google also has some unobtrusive ads on their pages.

    I like using the Google search engine because it doesn't have flashing adverts etc. However, how do the creators of Google make money from the site?

    Being that GOOGLE is a free web site to use, how are they able to make so much money?

    On Drudge Report, it says that Google is worth 71 billion dollars, more than General Motors and Disney combined, but just where is that money coming from, I can clearly see GM selling cars to make money as well as Disney, but Google is just a website, I don't get it?
