Google really needs to give one service and do it well, not branch into a ton of other services.--filburt1, vBulletin.org/vBulletinTemplates.com moderator

Well let's see
Search - Probably the best there is
Ads - Doing really well currently
I don't see why they shouldn't add another service to generate revenue. They are doing relatively well with everything else

Really debateable.. Can't remember the last time Google gave me results remotely like what I was searching for. I guess if you are searching for spam and search engine clickthru schemes, they are right up your alley.Originally posted by ManagerJoshTranslations provided by Google.

It's rare that google doesn't give me the answer I'm looking for. Perhaps it is your keyword selection or you are searching for very obscure specialist subjects.Originally posted by Wayne LukeDean Clatworthy - Web Developer/DesignerComment

Well, from a financial perspective, I think it makes sense. Currently, their main source of income (99%) is from their advertising-related services.Originally posted by Dean C
While maybe not a logical choice, but offering online financial payment services can help Google diversify its income stream. Since it is already a household name (anybody ever watch the movie 'Hitch' and noticed the Google references?), Google can easily leverage its current popularity and try to squeeze into a market dominated primarily by PayPal.:)Comment

I am sure a lot of this is about micropayments.
Paypal is great for ebay payments, buying software and stuff from stores. For micropayment it is absolutly useless.
There are so so many business models out there that need to be able to make $0.01 payments to view a cartoon, or $0.05 for site access for a day etc. My guess is this is where google is heading.Comment

Yeah. They're saving that for 10 years from now.Originally posted by filburt1
