Online advertising drives Google
Google's shares have soared since it was first listed in August 2004
Internet search engine Google has revealed a huge jump in its earnings after unveiling its recent results. The US giant, which is valued at about $86bn (£49bn), saw its quarterly profit more than quadruple, propelled by a rise in online search advertising. Google recorded a second-quarter net profit of $342.8m, compared to $79.1m in the same period a year ago. The results come two days after US rival Yahoo unveiled a six-fold increase in profit to $754.7m.
Shares in Google have soared since the firm's market debut last year, boosted by strong revenue from advertising. On Thursday they reached a record high at the close of the Nasdaq, of $313.94, before falling in after-the-bell trade in New York.
