    I read somewhere recently that Google (the Search Engine) has sponsors. For example, when you enter certain words or phrases, you will sometimes see pages highlighted in their own little box to the right of the screen. These ones are the 'sponsored' sites, and their owners pay Google for the privilege of having them listed separately from the main list. So I've read....

    Google gets people to use its search engine by giving it to the world for free. They then sell the search engine to companies for use in in-house networks.

    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?

    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?
