Question - about how many AdWords advertisers are there now?

Is there an official count published somewhere?

Does Google publish their # of advertisers anywhere? Anyone have any ideas or better yet, fairly-well-documented source info?

Overture has been pretty transparent in the past, not sure if GOOG is the same way...

These numbers are not published elf2588a - so be aware that numbers you hear will be based on speculation or interpretation.

Dear AWA, of course the information is available. And you can find it with a search tool called "Google".

There is a bit over 400,000 advertisers now. I can give you more numbers, incl. amount by year, growth by year, and so on. But you can also look on "Google" and find that.

This isn't speculation or guess. It's based on internal Google docs that were leaked to the press.
