But have you ever thought that how Google makes money? Google do not have its products but still it’s making a great profit each day. Without charging anything Google is searching a lot of stuff for us and providing lots of storage space on internet to us.

Everyone’s dream lands the Google workplace. A trillion users and million organizations have inhabited Google’s platform. Google is way broader than it seems, the tech firm which focuses on solving millions of problems faced by the billions of people living. Being started as a mere search engine accounts to get 50,000 unique users each second on its platform. Beyond this Google has opened a new range of opportunity in almost every field of technology.

And as a user we do see thousands of advertisements and popups each time we start Googling. AdSense is a part having a similar concept for the bloggers and website owners get paid.

Some application are sold to the interested user whilst if the application was a free download, the user pays to access the premium features. This is somehow a similar scenario for many Play Store applications for example Evernote. Most of the web-based tools entered the world of applications; taking the example of Gmail which got the first 1 billion downloads.

This is somehow all interconnected, not just the developer earns but Google play does as well. Android workshops are held all the time; budding programmers are actively taking part in the learning programs headed by institutions and Google itself. The more applications they make they develop with glorious ideas, more money they make simultaneously increasing Google’s bank balance.

    Actually more than 80% revenue is from adsence.
    If you have talked about play store, they also charge around 25$ for a developer account for launching your application on google play store and there are somewhere around 1.5 million apps on play store. That’s also generate some money for them.

      Thanks sir for your the value added to our post. Total revenue of Google from the advertisement part is fluctuating between 88-90%. In the above post, we have categorized it into 4 parts. I guess you are considering Adwords and Advertisement as the same thing. Adwords only contribute to 70% income of Google.
      And we will surely look into the authentication for the data which is provided by you, if we found it worthy we will consider it into the post
