Google started back in 1996 as a research project of two Stanford University students by the names of Sergey Brin and Larry Page. The project was a focus on what web pages back linked to what other pages. The project was started by Larry Page; he was later joined by Brin who was supported by the National Science Foundation. Both Larry and Sergey already knew each other and they were working on the Stanford Digital Library Project together. The goal of that project was to develop technologies for a universal, and integrated digital library. They decided that they would get better results by using a search engine based on a list of back links that were ranked by importance than one that was ranked by how many times a search term appeared.
Originally their search engine used the Stanford web site with the domain name google.stanford.edu, and then in 1997 they changed their name and had it registered under the title google.com. They grew rather quickly and by the end of 1998 google.com had about 60 million pages. They began selling advertisements that were associated with search engine key words. The key words were sold based on price bids and click-troughs, the price bidding starting at $0.5 per click. With this google.com grew even faster.( Finkle, Todd A.)
By the year 2004, google.com had acquired 84.7 percent of all search requests on the internet. Google became so popular that a new verb was created just for them called “to Google” which simply means ‘to do a web search’. The word ‘Google’ has also been added to the Webster Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary.
In the year 2005 Google became one of the world’s largest and most popular media companies by stock market value by being valued at about $52 billion dollars. The same year Google did some merging and doing some partnerships with others including NASA and Time Warner’s AOL division, and Sun Micro Systems. All these mergers of
