Google announced its quarterly results earlier today.

Google reported a rise in profits in the first quarter as it saw the benefits of a shift to online advertising from traditional media. Google reported that its online advertising rose 17 per cent in the first quarter from a year earlier.

Shows just how strong Google is as a company and the potential of the internet to grow and sustain quality advertising sites. Its amazing that Google is still able to grow albeit at a slower rate, in the UK we have seen a big decline in advertising activities across the board.

We have had a good experience with both Google’s adwords and adsense programs and strongly recommend them both to authors who are not yet signed up.
