World’s Largest Advertising Company Valued At $155 Billion

According to the BBC, Google’s stock is soaring on the strength of online advertising. Shares in the company have surged since it listed at $85 on the Nasdaq in August 2004.
The latest price rise means Google has joined a group of only six other firms that trade above that level, including Berkshire Hathaway and pork processor Seaboard.
[IN RELATED NEWS] “Googol” is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, Mathematics and the Imagination by Kasner and James Newman. Google’s play on the term reflects the company’s mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.

    I don’t believe we can be much help with your school project, but I’m pretty sure Wikipedia can.
    Google, the search engine that no doubt brought you to our door, is the world’s largest advertising company. Even though their ads are mostly just small text boxes.
    As far as what we do, we’ll here it is. I’m doing what we do right now–talking about brands and the communications industry.

    Hi, I found this website and was wondering if you could help me with my A-level media studies coursework. I have a question that I have to research and was hoping you could give me some information or your opinions on the question? My question is “with the continuing development of technology in the 21st century is it now more beneficial for companies to advertise on the internet rather than on television?”
