Google Paid $7.2 Billion Last Year To Partners, Including Apple, To Prominently Showcase Its Search Engine and Apps on Smartphones (bloomberg.com)
A reader shares a Bloomberg report: There's a $19 billion black box inside Google. That's the yearly amount Google pays to companies that help generate its advertising sales, from the websites lined with Google-served ads to Apple and others that plant Google's search box or apps in prominent spots. Investors are obsessed with this money, called traffic acquisition costs, and they're particularly worried about the growing slice of those payments going to Apple and Google's Android allies. That chunk of fees now amounts to 11 percent of revenue for Google's internet properties. The figure was 7 percent in 2012. These Google traffic fees are the result of contractual arrangements parent company Alphabet makes to ensure its dominance. The company pays Apple to make Google the built-in option for web searches on Apple's Safari browsers for Mac computers, iPhones and other places. Google also pays companies that make Android smartphones and the phone companies that sell those phones to make sure its search box is front and center and to ensure its apps such as YouTube and Chrome are included in smartphones. In the last year, Google has paid these partners $7.2 billion, more than three times the comparable cost in 2012.
Because, you know, you are the product at good.
Wealthy libertine juuboiz don't know the difference and their blojobbing gentile pimps are too scared to man-up. Sound like ALPHABET ? a-b-c-d-e-f-g .. alpha-bytes for you and ...
... and very informative, but not earth-shattering.
Sounds like a good business model for all concerned, except Google competitors.
Those companies could pony up if they think there's a decent ROI.
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
Teh Rushian Inphluanze?!?!?!
No, wait, actually that sounds like a perfectly normal business model.
What's the story?
here you go.
This is abuse of dominance in a market. That's as plain as it gets. You and I may know of DDG, et al, but when it comes to the general public, there's nothing else but google.
I have a search box on my site that adds filetype:torrent to each search and I use it all the time. So where is my billion?
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
More money flowing out of Google (which receives advertiser revenue) and into device/content providers (the ones that actually provide the things we want). I can understand how Google investors are getting worried about tightening profit margins, but how is this not a high-five for consumers?
See subject: It's THE only way they "get ahead" (or buying out superior competitors). E.g. - Bundling Chrome (which was bought out too like much of their 'product line' is) into other apps downloaded is another example of their CROOKED bullshit.
* They are pitiful...
(This is merely taking advantage of folks who are NOT that 'tech saavy' who assume "Hey, Google wrote this program - it MUST be 'good'" - it's taking advantage of ignorance, & nothing more!)
APK
P.S.=> Of course, everyone also KNOWS who owns them & how THEY operate, lol - "DO NO EVIL"? Bullshit - they're SO evil they've been kicked nation to nation thru all time... apk
... The entity with the biggest wallet wins.
Very satisfied. I just hope that Google doesn't buy them out for a couple billion dollars.
Jews believe this of others they call goyim/gentiles (any non-jew): Jews = biggest racists of all (for which they "jew guilt" you for no less! They're hypocrites known as thieves all thru history or were Argentines in the 1940 under Perrone, Spanish inquistion, France (1306), Egypt (despoiled/robbed by jews), Arabs (pre & post 1948), England (1330 Edward longshanks), Romans under titus, Russia pogroms and Germany who got rid of them from their nations nazi german's too? No. Driven into DESERTS ages ago! Don't wonder why after all those exilings above. Should anyone doubt any of this see Jacob Javits' crony Rosenthal spill the beans on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4zMVZ8HnFI/ where he called all Christianity fools for helping Israel and the biggest scam of all time per their beliefs below from their Talmud. This is the province of the synagogue of Satan (Khazar/Pharisees whom Jesus Christ himself kicked to the curb out of the temple):
Barbara Spectre, a jew, tells everyone it's jews orchestrating the muslim migrant problem in Europe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFE0qAiofMQ/ . No migrant raping of women in Poland. Tons in Sweden. Do the math. Use common-sense. This is to get muslims and other goyim/gentiles to wipe one another out as incompatible cultures that will clash and always have.
George Soros who funds groups to create division in the USA?? A jew. One who sold his own jew people into death for the nazis. Zucker @ CNN is another frying publicly for lying about "russians" and John Bonifield a producer @ CNN said it is bs. Van Jones did also.

There are three types of people who call themselves Jews:
1. True Torah [Sephardic] Jews: these are the descendants of Prophet Jacob-Israel (Jacobites or Israelites) (about 5%-10% of all Jews)
2. Khazarian or Ashkenazi Jews: these are the descendants of a Turkic idol/phallic worshiping tribe who migrated to Russia in the 7th Century A.C. and whose nobility converted to Judaism in the 8th Century A.C. and now inhabit mostly Europe. (about 90%-95% of all Jews)
3. Zionist Jews: these are the ones from the 2 above who are pretending to be Jews for political reasons but whoâ(TM)re are actually Illuminists-Luciferian-Masonic-Satanists as Harold Wallace Rosenthal admits in this interview.
They are led by the neo-Pharisees (occult-priest-banklords). They want to establish a Zionist Luciferian state from the Nile to the Euphrates from where they plan to rule the Earth. The new Israeli Supreme Court funded by the Rothschilds Banklords is full of Masonic Symbols, just like the B.I.S. Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, which is the Mother of All Private Central Banks.
The hexagram symbol on the Israeli flag is the ancient Star of Moloch, a Satanic-Baal deity to which people were sacrificed. There is no such thing as a Star of David which the modern Jews have been fooled into believing; however, the True Torah Jews are not fooled by the Zionists Illuminatis and you can visit their websites for more info .

The more money Google spends on this sort of thing, the less they'll have available to spend on doing their evil stuff.
Actually if Google has to pay out billions just to keep Apple from going to Bing, I'd say it's pretty decisive evidence AGAINST market dominance. Market dominating companies don't have to bribe retailers for shelf space.

I don't mind much they being the default since you can change it easily but what I'd really like is being able to uninstall everything Google from my Android smartphone. Yes, I know it sounds a bit strange since pushing Google's services is the only reason of Android's existence but I wouldn't mind paying for a license (like you do with Windows on a PC)
The bastards! How dare they advertise!
