Google is the king of search engines. Pretty much enough said. It has a clean layout and no useless features or ads.

Google is also the king of ads. They must make billions every month with their advertising services. Unless you're using certain firefox extension You'll be forced to look at every one of their ads.

Yeah, but their ads don't show pictures of small and big penises and tell how cheap their viagra is. In my opinion Google has just found an awesome way of making money, they don't have all those blinky flash-based ads that I hate, I'm fine with few lines of text telling about some product or site, it's a free service after all.

yeah google rocks, it's simple ( i like that too ), faster then msn and yahoo, and it brings better results i think

me, i use google most of the time cause it loads faster and they allow keywords (e.g. site, file), operators, etc inorder to view the best results :wink:

Google forever

You are? Every site I come across with ads I couldn't tell you what the ad was for. It's called directing your gaze.

Only Google and Gmail!!!

I would have to say that google is my favorite search engine and email providor. MSN search is ok but hotmail just plain sucks. It somehow manages to mark all my actually emails as spam and all my spam as real emails. Google has started to scare me recently with their current course of actions. For chatting I use Trillian (everything in one application.)

On a side not, how much money does google make from all those ads?
