Who are Google?

Google is an American multinational corporation that provides internet related services. Most of Google's profits are derived from Google AdWords. AdWords allows businesses to gain web based interest through prominent ad placement in search results. Google was started in 1996 as a project by PHD students Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Rather than using keyword analysis to define a website they wanted to devise a system that would use backlinks (links through to a particular website form another) to define the importance of a websites content. This system was called PageRank. It is the algorithm used by Google search today. If a web page is linked to another page with high PageRank it receives a high PageRank itself. Google and its algorithm was launched on the Google domain in 1998. In 2010 Google received over 1 billion unique monthly visitors. Their revenue from advertising now stands at $50 billion a year
