Sweet deal for them. I know I turn so many people on to them they should have an affiliate program for referring accounts if they spend over x amount a year ya get a credit or money for it :) Id turn even more people on to them but right now they dont need to since people are killing to spend advertising money.

That is a _huge_ number of advertisers. Seems like Google is golden as ever ;)

Good find! It's been busy lately: AdWords up to (11? I know they just added Finnish) languages. google.es and google.se just launched--they're, like, "es"-"se" palindromes or something :). The Spanish office in Madrid is open. Toolbar 2.0 with form-filling and pop-up blocking is now available in Spanish, German, Italian, French, and Japanese. Geosearch is a nice little demo of an interesting idea. And going from 100K to 150K advertisers would be a nice announcement all by itself. :)

Doh! Make that 12 languages, and that's not counting UK English. It's hard to keep up sometimes. :)

You can get UK English rather than US English!

Thats a bonus :)

Wow GoogleGuy, that was an action-packed post!

Got to say, I'm proud to be posting here alongside you.

Well done Google.

With that much money coming in, try to stay even cleaner on your results page and leave the top-northern banner away to make place for related searches [webmasterworld.com]
Left is search results - right is advertising - used to be a very clean presentation.

Some countries/languages serps in niche areas are still so virginally clean, I would not dare to advertise and let the ignorant competition have an idea. On the other hand:

I had a client coming in recently congratulating me on the single little "award box" Google gave me to the right of the search results

"Google Awardwords program" :)
