Google revenues for the year increased by 57%

Google announced its financial results for the third quarter of this year. The company 's revenues increased compared to the same period last year by 57% to $ 4.23 billion; net profit for the last quarter was $ 1.32 billion. Advertising revenues on sites owned by Google (non-partner sites and non-AdSense members) accounted for 64% of total revenues. Google continues to increase staff: now the company has about 16 thousand full-time employees - at the end of June, the number of employees was 13,786.



Meanwhile, Nielsen Online published statistics in September that showed that Google was the first “parent company” (the totality of all Google sites was taken into account) in terms of unique visitors who visited the site (s) for the first time. This figure compared with last year increased by 19% and reached 118 million visitors. The number of search queries per month increased by a record 40% and amounted to 4.2 billion.



Perhaps the more impressive indicator is the increase in the amount of time users spend using Google services - it has increased by 82% - this remarkably illustrates the fact that Google is successfully developing beyond the search boundaries. Of course, such statistics Google has achieved the acquisition of video hosting YouTube.

Well, and at the same time I want to compare the growth of Google with some competitor - two days ago, Yahoo reported that its revenue grew by 12% compared with last year. The difference is impressive :)
