Google's Profit Up 37 Percent In 1Q As Revenue Hits $5 Billion

Hardly a week goes by without me having to explain to some (usually well-educated) business person just exactly how Google makes money! 

Seriously folks, these guys think Google is a weird internet fad thingy that still “doesn’t make any money, because I have never paid them”, or sometimes I get the, “I know Google sells ads, but I never click on them, so I am sure no-one else does” line.

Dammit folks, it no-one else did, where do you think they generated revenue that climbed 23 percent to 6.78 billion dollars!?

Come on guys it’s 2010 already, wakey wakey.
