Google properties revenue

As the most-visited web property, it is unsurprising that the majority of Google’s company revenue is generated through advertising on its own sites. As the dominating search engine in many countries, Google benefits from a vast audience reach. Google properties revenues include revenue from its search platform Google.com, as well as revenue from traffic generated by search distribution partners who use Google.com as their default search in toolbars and browsers. YouTube revenues are also included in this segment and in 2018, worldwide net advertising revenues of YouTube were estimated to be 9.13 billion U.S. dollars. According to Google, YouTube is one of the company’s biggest advertising revenue growth drivers, along with mobile search.
