3 Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally
accessible and useful. | |
4 | |
5 As a first step to fulfilling that mission, Google's founders Larry Page and Ser
gey Brin developed a new approach to online search that took root in a Stanford
University dorm room and quickly spread to information seekers around the globe.
Google is now widely recognized as the world's largest search engine -- an easy
-to-use free service that usually returns relevant results in a fraction of a se
cond. | |

7 When you visit www.google.com or one of the dozens of other Google domains, you'
ll be able to find information in many different languages; check stock quotes,
maps, and news headlines; lookup phonebook listings for every city in the United
States; search billions of images and peruse the world's largest archive of Use
net messages -- more than 1 billion posts dating back to 1981. | |

9 We also provide ways to access all this information without making a special tri
p to the Google homepage. The Google Toolbar enables you to conduct a Google sea
rch from anywhere on the web. And for those times when you're away from your PC
altogether, Google can be used from a number of wireless platforms including WAP
and i-mode phones. | |

11 Google's utility and ease of use have made it one of the world's best known bran
ds almost entirely through word of mouth from satisfied users. As a business, Go
ogle generates revenue by providing advertisers with the opportunity to deliver
measurable, cost-effective online advertising that is relevant to the informatio
n displayed on any given page. This makes the advertising useful to you as well
as to the advertiser placing it. We believe you should know when someone has pai
d to put a message in front of you, so we always distinguish ads from the search
results or other content on a page. We don't sell placement in the search resul
ts themselves, or allow people to pay for a higher ranking there. | |

13 Thousands of advertisers use our Google AdWords program to promote their product
s and services on the web with targeted advertising, and we believe AdWords is t
he largest program of its kind. In addition, thousands of web site managers take
advantage of our Google AdSense program to deliver ads relevant to the content
on their sites, improving their ability to generate revenue and enhancing the ex
perience for their users. | |

17 What's a Google? | |
18 | |
19 "Googol" is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was co
ined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was
popularized in the book, "Mathematics and the Imagination" by Kasner and James N
ewman. Google's play on the term reflects the company's mission to organize the
immense amount of information available on the web. | |
