Posted July 08, 2018 06:29:55A new report by market research firm Ipsos found Google is the world’s biggest search engine for ads.
Google has been around since 2004, but its ad sales have been on the rise since its recent acquisition of YouTube.
Google had an overall ad sales of $4.4 billion in 2016, up $1 billion from 2015.
That was up more than 5 percent from the year before.
The ad revenue rose by nearly 2 percent year-over-year to $1.7 billion, according to Ipsos.
Google’s ad revenue is a major driver of the company’s stock price, as it makes up about 60 percent of the value of the stock.
