Google Revenues Up and Looking Forward to Future Advertising Growth

Hats off to Google. Google’s third quarter revenue more than doubled, exceeding analyst expectations for its first quartly earning reports after their IPO. Then again, they have been busy lately, unfurling their desktop search and plotting to increase their number of advertisers by 372,000 in the next four years:

• 2004 – 280,000
• 2005 – 378,000
• 2006 – 472,500
• 2007 – 567,000
• 2008 – 652,050

Looking at that advertiser chart, our pay-per click team couldn’t be happier.
