Lets take a look at Google:
How does Google make money?
We make most of our money from the sale of advertising, which appears adjacent to our own search results and on sites maintained by a large network of publishers across the web who participate in our AdSense program. These ads, known as AdWords, are automatically matched to the content of the page on which they appear by our proprietary software. On Google properties, ads are always clearly identified as such and are physically separated from the algorithmically derived search results.
Google does not sell placement within our actual search results. We believe paid advertising can provide information as useful as search results, but that users should always be able to distinguish between the two.
When does Google's fiscal year end?
Our fiscal year ends with the calendar year. Our quarters end on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31.
How many employees do you have?
As of September 30, we had 2668 employees located around the world, although most are at our Mountain View, California headquarters.
