Come to think of it,

they have all these huge servers that surpass the NSA in the USA went to court the other day and won against them "NSA"

where do the generate all the money from if everything is for free?

i mean they don't even advertise? and yet they make a few billion $ a year?
 
Online advertising - aka adsense and DoubleClick.
 
heh but, you must advertise better than USN sports nutrition to make a few billion a year? i read in the goolge book, they have 60000 workers working for them and running servers, and programming
 
Google sells ad space. Really where have you been the past 10 years?

to whom do they sell it to?

Visit google, visit gmail and look at the ads. Go to wikipedia and see the entry there, then find the google company vision, mission objective statement. Their motto, do no evil and that is their main concern in any project. Use google to find an answer, why ask forum members?
 
google actually sell key words like "camera" and "digital camera" by auctioning them off to buyers. some words are more than others. If you were BMW, you could buy the words "Merc" or "Mercedes-Benz" if you had enough money to bid for it over mercedes-benz themselves. There are certain laws governing what words are available too. Anyway so when you buy a word, your add would more than likely appear on the sponsored links area on the relevant page. That's how they make money. For auctioning off the works and also when a person clicks on each sponsored word.
 
Adwords is the program called. That is where you bid for the advertising. Google advertises on their search results and on publisher pages where the publisher (the website) earns money form the advertising as well, this program is called adsense.

Google is very succesful doing it
 
Then you want to target a specific market ex. cars, you would register at google adwords, type you advert and choose which keyword you want to target for example, cars, fast cars, old cars etc. You have to put alot of research into those keywords though because you pay for every time a person clicks on your ad. That's where SEO comes in, ranking etc. Exciting stuff! Google also recently launched software packages you have to buy. If you want to get traffic to your site fast, you design your site for specific keywords, then you create an add for those keywords and viola traffic within 20min+-
