The search results are 1. The web server sends the returned to the user in a fraction of a second. query to the index servers. The content inside the index servers is similar to the index in the back of a book - it tells which pages contain the words that match the query. 2. The query travels to the doc servers, which actually retrieve the stored documents. Snippets are generated to describe each search result. HOW GOOGLE WORKS? GOOGLE’S WORKING CULTURE GOOGLE’S POPULARITY • • • • Clean, minimalist interface Lack of in-your-face advertising links User Friendly Credible source of information GOOGLE’S PHILOSOPHY • • • • • • • • • • Focus on the user and all else will follow.

Need for information crosses all borders You can be serious without a suit Great isn't just good enough GOOGLE’S SLOGAN - DON’T BE EVIL 4 REASONS FOR GOOGLE’S SUCCESS TECHNOLOGY • Innovative approach to page ranking • Google is a purpose-built hardware company, building all its own servers from components it buys directly for their manufacturers. • According to Drummond, Google now operates the world's largest distributed computer system. BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATION • By perfecting the nature of targeted ads, Google not only has created a highly effective revenue generator, it has produced what it hopes to be a better experience for its users. • It is Google's goal to make their targeted ads at least as relevant and useful to users as the search results themselves. BRAND • Number one most recognized worldwide brand. Indeed, Google has become a verb ("I can't wait to get home and Google him") which poses real challenges to a company seeking to protect the strength of its mark. FOCUS ON THE USER EXPERIENCE • Optimization for the user experience first and for revenue second. • The folks at Google firmly believe that the better the user experience, the more easily money will follow. As a business, Google generates revenue by providing advertisers with the opportunity to deliver measurable, cost-effective online advertising that is relevant to the information displayed on any given page. This makes the advertising useful to you as well as to the advertiser placing it.
