Interesting stuff! I think Google’s greatest feats are with out a doubt, blogger and adsense. Their development of serving advertisments inside gmail should also be a factor in revenue.

Honestly, this is the first time I know the facts about google in the form of numbers like this article.

As I guessed before this that the majority of Google revenue is derived from advertising. But, up to 97%? Wow … Because the income from advertising field reach 97%, this means that google must think of diversification of income from another field. Because if their competitors can take google’s market share on advertising field then google could be collapse.

Love it, what program(s) did you use to create the charts and assemble the infographic?

Incredibly eye-opening folks. Well done (as always).
I’m curious: What do you folks use to assemble these infographics? They’re gorgeous and effective (a tough challenge with even much less complex data).

I’d love to see a real-time mashup that guesstimates these datapoints as they move. Talk about mind-bending info. Thanks again for the peek inside the Googleplex

Those figures are truly astonishing – and a great graphic representation of some big numbers.. done so much better with charts so you can see growth.

Even when Google went through its initial IPO I thought the shares were a tad on the pricey side. Now with hindsight I now figure that I lost the opportunity to turn every $1000 of shares into $6000 – shame for me but great for anyone with shares.

I’m not complaining though – I get to use some great Google tools (especially Gmail, Docs and Apps) for productivity, web analytics and search engine marketing trends. They do “give out” some pretty cool stuff… in return for your privacy & adwords bucks.

@Jeff H. Where are you seeing trillions? It’s billions in this doc, so I guess you are indeed overlooking a decimal?

Unless I’m overlooking a decimal, the profit and revenue figures in this are wrong by an order of magnitude.

Google’s revenue and profit is in the billions, not trillions.
