Nice! Go G!

I hope this means continued solid payouts from G for their Adsense program for another quarter... =)

Eric Schmidt said in a conference call with analysts, "Looking back at the quarter, it's obvious to us our model continues to work very well."

That's how mature chief executives say, "BU-WA-HAHAHAHA!"

Think their stock will hit $700? I wouldn't bet against it. Lots of retail buying.

In some cases those numbers are matching how much our PPC cost went up. Good old days. 25c/click

Not sure if that was irony....

Solid as in... the concrete foundation of a building that stayed in place even after the rest has collapsed?

...

pffft.
or there was a 600% boom in competition / decrease in advertisers / lower CPC in all the sectors I know of... my my, why is it that I always have to be in the control group. It's not much, just a 300% decrease over the same period with all else being the same, including competition, traffic, rankings, relevancy, CTR and even the ads. But what do I know? Good model though.

Here is a posting from Yahoo group.. is it true?

"Companies such as GM have formal hedging policies in place - for many many years. ALL of the FX exposure is usually 100% hedged. GOOG is new at the game and is growing so fast they haven't been able to hedge or even forecast their FX exposure. It is a moving target. They happend to have gotten lucky since the FX market moved their way. It could have been a $121M LOSS.

Don't expect massive swings going forward. Sooner or later they will be able to forecast and manage it. The poster is correct. Without the FX gain - they would have missed.

I do this for a living for 13+ years with major corporations."

I certainly would expect Google profits to be up when they threw the search results in into total disarray during the third quarter. Probably sent quite a few to Adwords forcing prices up all over.

Why resort to conspiracy scenarios? Online advertising expenditures are up, period. A rising tide may not lift all boats, but it certainly should lift the buoyant S.S. GOOGLE.

Everyone go into your adwords campaign, check the daily spend this month vs last 3 months, anyone notice how its up by over 10-15%?

wait until Q1 08 when they show first revs from the checkout.

[shorebreak]

idolw,

why do you expect checkout revenues to be big? Care to explain what you think the math might look like?
