Google domination-rally in Germany-Myvzine publication.

Recently discovered, public domain footage, of the original Google awards ceremony, held in Nuremberg, west Germany, has revealed the truth behind the driving force of Google.

The original concept behind the Google search engine, was to provide an efficient service, without the annoying presence of advertisements on the home page, as other search engines were displaying.

Once popularity was gained, to the extent of becoming the number one search engine, they introduced ‘adwords’, a system which encouraged online marketers to bid for competitive key words, to appear as sponsored links, on the right hand side of their search pages.

This method has made absolute millions for the Google corporation, and continues to grow.

Next up, they introduced ‘adsence’, a method of placing sponsored adverts onto webmasters web pages, enticing surfers to click the links and pay for the products offered by merchants.

The webmasters receive an undisclosed percentage of revenue, paid up by the sponsors, but quite obviously, the lions share goes into the Google coffers.

The 1.65 billion take over of youtube, is peanuts to the corporation, as they have the foresight to realize that online video will increasingly become the main source of advertising revenue.

Radio and television will inevitably die out, to be replaced by online video and movie hosting, so the acquisition of youtube, being the numero uno hosting site, is an excellent deal.

Although, being aware of their methods, one must admire the drive behind the Googleplex machine, and praise them for re-investing into mapping and multilingual systems, which are to the benefit of everyone….especially Google, whom, when the time is right, shall levee a charge on the services.

PS – the translation of the video above was greatly due to ‘Google translate’.
