According to BBC News, Google makes 12 cents every time you place a search using their search engine. Considering that over 27 billion searches were performed in January of 2006, that’s a lot of money. If my math is correct, which it usually isn’t (which explains my F in algebra last semester), they made $32,400,000 in the month of January from searches. I’m not sure if this can be classified as technology news, persay, but definitely something to know.
