Google profits are 60% up = Webmasters Profits are 50% down

If google has only 10% market gain the profits must go from our packets

Google just announced its profit rose 60%. As expected when Google failed to meet 4Q 2005 financial goals. I guess the easiest way of improving profits was to lower commission paid to publishers. Google gained 10% of the market. Google publishers do distribute about 1/3 of all ads. If Google gained 10% the majority of the 60% profit gain must come from our packets (publishers).

I have just a few secondary websites with some Adsense on it but I can see over the years how the profit share for publishers is decreasing.

Just my 0.02

See today's earnings thread in this forum at:

Net revenues paid to publishers increased by nearly 15% in 1Q 2006.

Jan, I think your understanding of what a 60% increase in profit means is flawed, but I'm too tired to explain in detail.

Follow the links in the other thread, and hopefully you'll see what I mean.
