Posted: 14 Dec 2011 01:45 PM PST



How much revenue does Google earn? What are its major sources of revenue? How profitable are its products and services? BusinessMBA.org has come up with an infographic that gives you insight into the numbers behind Google. According to the infographic, Google had $29.3 billion in revenue in 2010. The amount is more than the combined GDP of the 28 poorest countries in the world.

Here are some of the other key highlights:
  • The bulk of Google's revenue comes from selling ads through AdWords. Over 97% of Google's revenue comes from advertising and only 3% from other sources, including its products and services.
  • $2,500,000,000 of Google's revenue comes from mobile ads. This figure is expected to grow further in 2011.
  • What makes Google's massive revenue possible is the fact that the search giant receives over 1 Billion unique visitors per month.
  • People spend a total of 200 billion minutes per month on its sites.

Best Protest Signs Of 2011

Posted: 13 Dec 2011 09:23 PM PST

There's no doubt that 2011 has been the year of protests. So many protests.

Egypt, Libya, Greece, Italy, Spain, Chile and that of course doesn't include the Occupy protests that took the nation by storm.

One way to get your message across at a protest, is to hold up a large sign. It doesn't have to be flashy. It doesn't even have to be written in neat handwriting, all that matters is that it's witty, smart and it doesn't hurt if it's funny.
