I’m guessing advertising 🙂 They may even get some money by licensing some of their stuff to other companies.

No kidding, the software they must have developed to search through millions of terabytes of data in a second, to crawl the **entire** web in **a few days** , things like that.

Yeah, a significant portion is from licensing out their technology to other search engines. For a few years, Yahoo, MSN, and AOL were all running off of the Google technology. I read somewhere that they were each paying like 600 million dollars per year to google (or maybe it was 60 million… not sure), also, they just made over a billion dollars from their IPO (when they started selling stock)

this story is from archive w/out a follow-up, but this (the old employees are all now millionaires) may explain the huge surge in vacant positions:
