a business relationship in the Google search engine. At the beginning of
the meeting they were not friends, they are more often opposed in every
subject, until finally they found a subject that really caught their
attention.

They began to write papers on information retrieval from large data,


titled "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual WebSearch
Engine". They sell the idea of a search engine, which later was named Google, but unfortunately that
idea did not sell. Then they started writing a business plan and bring total initial investment of nearly
$ 1 million to start their own company. Their efforts at originally started from a garage in Menlo Park,
California in 1998. The company grew so fast and get so many employees, so that some offices were
relocated due to lack of space and finally Google. Inc settled in what is now called Mountain View,

company. Search engine is ideal according to Larry Page, co-
founder of Google, is to understand exactly what you mean
and give the results as you want.. In August 2007, Google is a

Google Marketing Strategy.

model, has become in a few years the world leading search engine, has developed winning
applications as Google Earth, Google Video, Google Maps, Gmail, and is enjoying a huge

Google Market Capitalization.

In nov 2007 Google Inc. was the 5th biggest US company, considering stock market
capitalization. In nov. 2007 Google shares had topped $700.
Google stock market capitalization in nov 2007 was $230 billion, in July 2008 was $170
billion.

By comparison in July 2008 Microsoft stock market capitalization was $240 billion, General
Electric market cap was $270 billion, Exxon stock market capitalization was $450 billion.

The key question is:


why the Google Business Model is a winning Business Model?
The answer is a complex one, and involves more factors. It's a mix of smart decisions,
excellent marketing strategy, great advisors, highly innovative and risky business model, and
great products.

These are the key resons why the Google Business Model won:

1.- Google had - and still has - a simple, clean, clear, minimalistic user interface. no frills, just
the logo and the search box - easy and fast to load. And this was a key feature with the slow
internet connections of the early years 1999 -2001 - while Yahoo and most of the other search
engines were more like generalistic portals, full of confusion, full of useless features and
useless links, full of annoying banner ads, heavy and slow to load.

Google had a clear understanding on psychology of perception, and how the interaction
eye/brain works, while the bigger competitors didn't.

Bottom line is: If the user visits a search engine, what he wants to get is simply that: just a
search engine.

A search engine which is fast and reliable. If the user wants a generalistic portal, he goes to a
portal, not to a search engine.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the Google Executives, understood this, and this was what they
delivered. And made their users happy.

2.- Google had - and has - reliable search results (not always, but most of the time). Page and
Brin's PageRank algorithm worked well.

3.- Google got good advice from VC's and from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. Larry
Page and Sergey Brin have been advised and assisted from the beginning by John Doerr, VC
Partner of Kleiner Perkins and by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, the leading law firm of
Silicon Valley

Insight on Google Business Model

4.- Google introduced a smart, innovative and quite risky business model - Adwords - and the
pay per click concept. The risk proved winning, and the innovative business model worked.
Still today Adwords is the main source of revenues of Google Inc.

5.- In the following years, Google became a powerhouse with an impressive pipeline of new
great products - Google Maps, Google Earth, Google Video, Gmail. And slim revenues.

6.- Google worked very hard on Brand Building. It seems that brand building was much more
important to them than just revenues and profits. The strategy worked. And it was a key asset
in the subsequent IPO at the Nasdaq.

7 - Google was an innovator of the Business Model. Google delivered all these great new
products basically for free, enticing and luring million of users worldwide, with the result of
building the Brand in an outstanding, quite unbelievable way - and did it so fast.
Eric Schmidt was made CEO of the company, David Drummond, an attorney of Wilson
Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati who had advised Google founders since the early days, joined
Google as Chief Legal Officer, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati took care of the IPO at
Nasdaq.

At the IPO in August 2004 Google share price was set at $85, which to many financial
analysts seemed eccessive and unreasonable. In nov. 2007 Google shares had topped $700.
And in nov. 2007 Google stock market capitalization reached $230 billion, while annual
revenues reached $16 billion and profits $4 billion.

An excellent return for Google shareholders
