I like the fighting weight analogy….now let’s see if there are any serious challengers to the heavyweight search crown of the world!

Good write up and good news for Google all things considered. The idea of just giving new options when stock prices go down (Google is just following the consistent practice of most companies) shows how phony that practice really is. If the company stock declines we will just forget the original contract and give you a better deal but if the company stock soars sure just keep the original contract. I just wish the companies would be more honest that they are just going to give big rewards that they don't want to have to account for as an expense. Other companies largely restrict this practice to the already massively overpaid executives so I find it less bad when Google does it for a wider group of people. But in any case it is a lame practice. John Hunter's last blog post..Using Free Content to Boost Your Sales

Clearly Google are yet to be squeezed in the big crunch but these numbers are obviously not sustainable in a depression – surely anyone knows that???

@Dan – not seeing the breakdown, but I’m sure it’s in the filing…if you’re brave enough to hunt for it!

@Milo – the original image was just as bad! http://tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:McBnsZ1CjIBGsM:http://www.robbinss ports.com/sporting-goods-store/images/everlast-boxing-lace-style-train ing-heavy-bag-glove.jpg

Those numbers are pretty impressive. I thought for sure Google would take a hit, but all things considered, the company is a Rockstar. Getting back to it's fighting weight is exactly what needs to be done, now isn't the time to venture off into the unknown. Jayson's last blog post..Modify Mortgages Now Program | Fix Housing

I find the ROAS is lower on the content network, so I use it less. Probably a decline since more and more advertisers are going straight search.

Google are now paying less in AdSense? Is that lower rates or just people getting less hits…

Also, the photoshopped boxing gloves image is terrible

"$5.70 billion in Q4" That is a pretty amazing number. Have any data on what was spent on Print advertising in general in Q4? Dan London's last blog post..The Old Media Blues
