Google (GG): It’s The Current Quarter That Counts
24/7 Wall St. NY
All of those things together will make Google’s first quarter comparison to the same quarter last year much less likely to look good. Google’s revenue is nearly a perfect mirror of the economy because it does business across every industry and has customers which range from individuals to large corporations. Its advertising search business is used by millions of "affiliate" sites that rely on putting Google’s marketing software at their websites. The revenue from those Google ads is split between the site owner and the world’s Google. When small sites loss traffic or go out of business the number of partners Google can rely on shrinks. Even large companies are eliminating much of their marketing budgets. Google may be the single most efficient way to reach customers but that does not mean much when firms have lost the financial capacity to do any advertising at all.
