Google, the quarterly at the time of crisis

Were expected quarterly results from Google, yet again taken a thermometer of the real state of health of the economy in recent months?

All in all, the outcome can be defined in chiaroscuro. The effects of the crisis we are all, even if the company ever has taken beyond even conservative expectations.

The double-digit growth are gone, it is clear, however Google closed the quarter with a turnover of 5.51 billion dollars, an increase of 6% over the same period last year.

Net profit reached 1.42 billion shares, equal to $ 4.49 per share, compared to 1.31 billion dollars, equal to $ 4.42 per share the same period last year.

What has changed compared to previous quarters?

It is obvious that users will continue to do research, but it is more difficult then translates their visits purchases and that in turn have an impact on Google results and I think that as a smaller deals that advertisers are doing in the auction system for keywords.
