Google’s share price reached an all-time high Tuesday at $518.84 with the announcement of a new partnership with marketing software maker Salesforce. com. Google, the #1 search engine, seems to defy every Internet law of gravity. But one question arises with each subsequent record-high share price: is it possible for Google to get any bigger?
According to Hitwise, for the four weeks ending June 2, 2007, Google accounted for 64. 8% of all executed searches in the U. S., triple that of its nearest competitor Yahoo! Search, which achieved 21. 7% of all searches in that same time period. Tech pundits have long theorized that there must be a saturation point for Google’s role in our quest to find information on the Internet. We just don’t have a clue as to where that point may be. We’ve pondered the possibility of slips in dominance with the release of a new competitive offering, but that hasn’t happened. We wondered if integration of MSN’s search offering with the new Vista operating system would affect Google’s share of search—not really. Google’s role in our Internet use has become ubiquitous.
Google, in its transition from a noun to a verb, has become more than a tool to find information online, it’s quickly becoming the default tool to navigate the web, replacing the browser URL bar as the way to move from one website to the next. How do we know this? The secret to Google’s primary use can be found in the top searches that people enter on the site. The #1 term, representing over 4% of all US searches on Google, is for the site that surpassed Google last summer to become the most popular domain on the Internet, "MySpace". In fact 17 of the top 20 searches on Google are searches for the other leading Internet sites such as "ebay", "yahoo", and "mapquest". The most puzzling search term that Internet users enter into a Google searchbox is the 14th most popular term: "Google".(In case you’re keeping count, the three most popular terms that are not websites are: porn, free porn and lyrics.)
However, for all of its success, Google’s online dominance has been limited to search. In web-based e-mail, for example, Google’s service, Gmail, is in a distant fifth place to leader Yahoo! Mail, which is over 12 times the size of Gmail in terms of visits. Google has barely made a peep in social networking: MySpace, the #1 social networking site, is over 300 times the size of Google’s Orkut service. Even mainstream information such as Google Finance is an order of magnitude smaller in visits than the industry leader in financial information Yahoo! Finance.
Google’s most promising growth strategy may be in acquiring industry leading sites versus building a homegrown solution. Take the October 2006 acquisition of YouTube—only $1. 65 billion and you’ve instantly become the industry leader in online video sharing. The combined offering of YouTube and Google Video represents over 51 % of all multimedia visits in the US.
With deep coffers and the expansion of its primary search business showing no signs of slowing, there really is no telling how big Google can become. In researching this column I tried googling the question, ironically the results weren’t of much help.
By what means can Google expect a growth?
