They purchased YouTube.com for more than 1 billion... and I'm sure that's only a small percentage of their total wealth. Where are they getting so much money from? Advertising? I barely see any ads on Google...

there are 2 sources where their huge cache of cash comes from.
1. as mentioned by everyone else, it does come from advertisers on their site.
2. more importantly, most of the cash were from their IPO. they had a tremendous success in their IPO. the response was overwhelming which pushed up their stock price to ridiculous levels. after the IPO they had a considerable amount of cash which they are now using to expand their company by acquisitions and developing new products.

I wondered the same thing myself, because they are building a new branch out here in Phoenix and will be hiring at least 600 new people.
I think they make their money by businesses that pay to be on those lists that you see on the right side of the screen along side your search items. Cause I know I use them to search and there is no fee and for no other regular users either, and it looks kind of clean, not with tons of pop ups and banners like on MSN, so my best guess is those side ads.

No, some adds in Google are not free of charge. Some websites are paing them. Moreover, many domains had a contract to ensure their clients websites will be in Google directory... It becomes huge money, isn't it

Do you know what Google Adsense ar?
Website owners use Google Adsense to host advertisements on their sites.. and google pays these website owners... from where did they get the money to pay the owners? Hmm....
i'd think its from the commissions they got directly from the guys who owns the advertisements !

They have a winning product called 'Ad-words' which demonstrated for the first time that, banner ads programs on the Internet can actually generate a lot of money.

The bulk of their money came from their IPO, the rest comes from ads and various other revenue sources.
