Google’s first quarter revenues are in, $2.25 billion, up 79 percent compared
to the same time last year and 17 percent over last quarter. Net income was 62
percent higher than last quarter, various sources calculate.

The Rundown

  • Revenue from Google-owned sites was 58 percent; Google network sites made
    up 41 percent; the remaining 1 percent is either a rounding issue or non-ad
    income.
     
  • Non-US revenue was 42 percent.
     
  • Traffic Acquisition Costs were 32 percent, down from 33 percent last
    quarter.

  • Employees: 6,790, up from 5,680 at the end of last quarter.
     
  • Animals Harmed During The Production Of Google: None. (Just seeing if you
    all are paying attention!)

    Inside Google, BuyGoogle highlights that advertisers want to spend
    even more with Google but can’t. They can’t, of course, because the search
    inventory really isn’t there. Two things will solve this problem for Google,
    FYI. First, prices will continue to rise. Second, Google will continue going
    offline to try and help those advertisers spend their money.
