The question is, where did Google make money? Then floats around rumors that Google does not have a good business model so that they could not turn a profit. However, these rumors could be broken when we talk about advertising.

Yep exactly once, the answer is advertising. If you visit a website and sometimes seeing titled Google adsense ads, or in Google Search with Google Adwords feature labeled "Sponsored Links", that's a moneymaker Google. Believe it or not, Google Adwords and Google Adsense accounts for 97% of Google's revenue.

What is the capital of West Kalimantan? What year diponegoro war happen? All that we can answer easily, Google! Google! Google!

Believe it or not, we must remember the words used to Pontianak, 1825, or any other term that is not easy to keep in mind in the long term. But now, given the job as if replaced with technology that originated from the search box.

In fact, Google stores search queries for each IP address for 9 months. Google also knows where we are now (with a note we use a phone that has the technology Latitude). But if we look at the facts, Google only know the IP address, not personally by one individual.

The purpose of recording the query as input to the algorithm is the selection of ads that will appear when we access the internet. But still, we can not prevent if Google wants to sell our information to the highest bidder.

Fortunately one of Google's corporate motto is We can make money without doing evil.
