Google's profit rose 60% on 1st-quater of 2006!

Yahoo's profit drop. Google's up. Happy news for the publishers :)

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said it earned $592.3 million, or $1.95 per share, during the first three months of the year. That compared with net income of $369.2 million, or $1.29 per share, at the same time last year.

Quarterly revenue surpassed $2 billion for the first time in Google's 7 1/2 year history, reaching $2.25 billion -- a 79 percent increase from $1.26 billion last year.

But don't get too excited over it. They earned more, but doesn't mean you'll get more from them. An article from Jason Dowdell stated Adsense has started a crackdown on suspicious publishers. So be careful Adsense's publishers out there.

On a side note, based on the statistics of Technorati, the bloggers in Blogosphere doubles every six months! It was a statement by founder & CEO of Technorati, David Sifry. Hrmm.. This is scary. I'm started to worry if in future, there won't be any website but only blogs around the net. hrmm... Technology!

As for SEO geeks, there's a new free listing in UmDum, Loren Baker's New Web Directory.
