What is the measure of Google’s financial success? A whopping US$2 million or about RM6.28 million an hour, according to an article in the New York Times titled “The Humans Behind the Google Money Machine.”
“Google runs a complex auction-based system that determines which ads will appear where, and in what order. Every time the team alters the formulas that select and rank ads, Mr. Fox can run a test and quickly see the effect of the changes on users, advertisers and Google’s revenue — which, in this year’s first quarter, came in at the rate of more than $2 million an hour,” the report says.
Mr. Fox in the report is Nicholas Fox, who is among Google’s small group of employees “who keep a watchful eye on the vital signs of one of the most successful and profitable businesses on the Internet.”
Ah, in that case, there’s still hope for the Adsense ads on this blog. No?
