Google is a moving target making it hard to follow their trajectory. So here in Spring 2015 we thought we would take a stab at a very rough summary. You might be surprised by the variety of places where you'll find Google, but you'll soon see the common thread is YOU.  

This post is not a conspiracy theory letter, nor is it an exhaustive listing of Google's reach. Our aim is to provide a quick overview of Google's business model - a post with links so you can better understand Google

Our Methodology

We took a look at their financial's to follow the money trail. Then we worked backwards into the products and services that produce that revenue. That's it.

Our Findings

Here is how the money flows (courtesty of BGR.com). The largest slice of the pie irepresents online service-sites that we all use for free.  Google gets paid to show us ads.
