Last night Google announced their QA earnings and this was the first time they do so with Larry Page as CEO. The results were not that bad at all, any company would be thrilled to reporting these types of earnings, but in terms of Google - they did not shine and glow after the earnings report.
Revenue was up overall, AdSense income up, clicks on paid ads were up, cost per click was up, but expenses were up significantly too.
Here are som key highlights:
Revenues - Google reported revenues of $8.44 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010, representing a 26% increase over fourth quarter 2009 revenues of $6.67 billion. Google reports its revenues, consistent with GAAP, on a gross basis without deducting TAC.
Google Sites Revenues - Google-owned sites generated revenues of $5.67 billion, or 67% of total revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2010. This represents a 28% increase over fourth quarter 2009 revenues of $4.42 billion.
Google Network Revenues - Google's partner sites generated revenues, through AdSense programs, of $2.50 billion, or 30% of total revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2010. This represents a 22% increase from fourth quarter 2009 network revenues of $2.04 billion.
