If you will ask an average person to describe Google as a company, the normal answer you will probably get is that it is one of the largest and most successful web advertising companies in the world.
However, Google would like this stereotype be changed and educate everyone that the company is not just on the "take side" of a "give and take relationship" of a business circle. The company wants the world to know that it has become a part of the success of small businesses across the world offering internet-based services and products even in times of poor economic performance.
The multinational public cloud computing company released a report during a news conference in the Capitol building stating about the economic impact of their company's programs and services. Google said that on 2009, it generated approximately $54 billion for US-based businesses, online publishers and non-profit organizations alone. The report was based on the total amount of money Google paid out to its clients using Google AdSense products, the value of free advertising it gives to non-profit sectors and lastly, the estimates on the amount of money made by marketers and advertisers.
Google may look like it is trying to emphasize its great contribution in the economic development and into providing more jobs to people but the company have a point after all. We cannot deny the fact that internet advertising has become a vital part in our economy especially for small and medium businesses relying to the World Wide Web in generating sales and revenue.
