Question

take for google for example they started with an address bar then all the sudden those guys are billionairs they have not been around as long as everyone else does cookie tracking feature and website counter tell them who visits how many times and how many people visit how do they turn that into cash who pays them money for the use where does it come from how does it work sites like google, yahoo, ask, lycose the most detailed and correct answer gets the points

Answer 1

Here's really what's going on. Big companies pay these guys HUGE amounts of money to advertise them. They fulfill this by offering part of the profits (like from google Adsense) to the people who are willing to put the banners and ads into their site. They never offer more than the amount of money that they get so they always end up with profits.

Answer 2

Ok, I do this stuff every day. The money comes from either "impressions" which are simply ad banner views (that they trace in a stats package using an unique ID for your site, or "click-throughs" which is exactly what it sounds like - someone clicks the ad and you earn money for it.

IN the earlier days of the internet, click-through's paid between 5 and 10 cents a click, but now they're usually commission based, and you only make money of someone buys from the company running the ad. Paid impressions is usually now down to search engines or major websites, where a company can expect millions of guaranteed hits.

The search engines use paid placement - Yahoo has Overture, which has relationships with other companies, like MSN, AOL, etc. Google is unique in that it has it's own and doesn't use anyone else's paid placement systems.

Answer 3

Well they find something and work hard at it finding the unknown market and fall into it. With websites, some have counters, some have cookie loggers and some have trackers that actually log the address of each visitor. They take that information and send it to companies that need business or want to advertise and give them cut rates for so many days/months to have a banner on their site. People see the banner, and sometimes with spyware and adware, the site puts trackers on your computer that lets advertisers spam you.

Answer 4

The founders of google created a unique way of indexing all the pages on the net. This is now called Googlebot which is a web crawling robot, which finds and retrieves pages on the web and hands them off to the Google indexer. It's easy to imagine Googlebot as a little spider scurrying across the strands of cyberspace, but in reality Googlebot doesn't traverse the web at all. It functions much like your web browser, by sending a request to a web server for a web page, downloading the entire page, then handing it off to Google's indexer.

Googlebot consists of many computers requesting and fetching pages much more quickly than you can with your web browser. In fact, Googlebot can request thousands of different pages simultaneously. To avoid overwhelming web servers, or crowding out requests from human users, Googlebot deliberately makes requests of each individual web server more slowly than it's capable of doing.

Googlebot gives the indexer the full text of the pages it finds. These pages are stored in Google's index database. This index is sorted alphabetically by search term, with each index entry storing a list of documents in which the term appears and the location within the text where it occurs. This data structure allows rapid access to documents that contain user query terms.

Their main way of making money is people pay to get high in there page ranking system which is Google's system for ranking web pages. A page with a higher PageRank is deemed more important and is more likely to be listed above a page with a lower PageRank. More site visits begets a higher page rank which means a higher listing on each internet users search increasing the chance they will click on that link and be a potential visitor for that site.

Google also allows people to advertise with ad-words which is the ads you see on the side of each google search you do. Everytime you click on one of those links that company pays google. The more visits that site gets via google the more google charges. This is called CPC or cost-per-click.

It really is amazing how quick they came to be such a dominating force but they seem to be the heart of the internet these days. Hope this was enough info....I proably left some stuff out that because there is so much...
