According to the Google Learning Center,
80% of Internet users will see a Google™ ad over
the next 30 days somewhere on the GoogleNetwork.

The great one – Google – was the subject of a 60 Minutes story, Defining Google,
on January 2, 2005. Here are some highlights from that story.

"Google co-founder Sergey Brin showed us an electronic globe displaying the mountains of Google searches happening around the world at any given moment. Two-hundred million times a day, someone, somewhere uses Google to search for something on the Internet."

"People always ask us how Google makes money," Mayer [Google executive] says, as she does a Google search for flowers. The left side of the screen displays the top 10 Web sites Google found related to flowers. Appearing on the right side are what Google calls sponsored links. This, she explains, is where the money comes from. When someone clicks on a sponsored link, say in this case it's an ad for FTD flowers, the company pays Google. It’s a revolutionary idea: advertising to an audience of one, and one who’s already looking for what you want to sell."

Google is a play on the word “googol” which refers to the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. Google's use of the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense, seemingly infinite amount of information available on the web.

“To Google” verb: To get an instant answer to anything using Google’s super computers.

Google company motto: “Do no evil.’

All Business is P to P

There are no such things as B to B (Business to Business) or B to C (Business to Consumer) transactions; there are only P to P (Person to Person) transactions.

Even if you think it’s one faceless corporation dealing with another, it’s really about one person, the decision maker with purchasing power, having a person relationship with another person, who is a supplier capable of expedition the goods. In other words, two people that like dealing with each other.

Sales Talk is All About “You”

Your Web site should be focused on your audience first and appeal specifically to their interest. To that, develop dialogue in an appropriate tone and format for the right audience. Some of the most interesting content will have more appeal if it speaks to your audience in terms like: “you can, you might, you will, yours, your and you’re INSTEAD of “we, ours, we’re, we will, we can, etc.” This is extremely important when working on sales related copy.
