Hmmmmm. I wonder that it took for that to finally happen: Money, prybars or sabre rattling?

Did Google have AdSense in 1997?

Google didn't have Google in 1997!

(Edit: google.com was registered on Sept. 15, 1997. adsense.com was regestered Feb. 23, 1997. It previously belonged to Adsense Consulting of Eugene, Oregon.)

I assume money.

I assume money.

So did I. Chances are (and hopefully) it's that so that everyone's mutually benefitted.

If Google did buy the domain, AdSense.com, the original owner did not get any financial windfall. After being upset with all the phone calls, spam mail and Google's lack of interest in buying it, the owner sold the domain in September 2005 with the agreement that she would transfer ownership of it in September 2006.
