Value Comes from Mobile Growth

WSJ Mobile-Ad Spending Leaps

Business Insider: Advertising Revenue Growth

Still, the imbalance remains stark: American adults now

quarter

spend almost a
of their media time on mobile
devices, eMarketer estimates, yet this year's spending
growth will raise mobile's share of the ad market to only
9.8%. By contrast, American adults spend only 2% of
their media time reading newspapers but ad spending for
the sector hangs just under 10% of the overall market,
eMarketer estimates.

The Economist Moving Targets

Mobile Time Growth

Advertisers are experimenting with geofencing, which

allows them to reach people within a particular area
Mobile devices, unlike desktop computers, are typically

one person

used by only
, which is a great help to
advertisers who want to target specific users.

Company Overview
Advertising Why Its Here To Stay

Google has double-digit Y/Y growth in revenue over past few years impressive given a
company with $60 billion annual revenue
Grew 32.4% in 2012, 19.2% in 2013, and is expected to be 17.2% in 2014 we assume
12%
Largest potential is from mobile ads growth in gross advertising sales
Eroding margin and threat of declines in ad revenue are legitimate concerns but are
extreme long run issues
Rate of decline in average CPC actually beat analysts expectations in Q3:2014
As long as Google is the king of search engines, its advertising business is here to stay
Because of Googles competitive advantages, it is has a lot of power over advertising
parties
Googles ad revenues are steady and are growing stable cash flow for Google to further
develop or pursue other projects that may be hits: optionality

14

Company Overview
Advertising Breakdown of Services

Advertising is responsible for roughly 90% of Googles total gross revenue and is divided up into 2 categories
Google Websites: (68.2%) ads on Googles search (AdWords) and other Google related sites (YouTube,
Google Maps)
Google Network Members Sites: (21.4%) aka AdSense: ads on websites Google pays to have ads space
With AdSense, content provider gets 68% of the click price
Three different payment plans:
Cost-per-click (CPC) model Google charges advertising party $ per click
Cost per-thousand-impressions model (CPI) cost per display of ad
Cost per engagement model (CPE) cost for a defined action
DoubleClick provides display advertising services for Google Websites and Network Members Sites
DoubleClick provides Interactive Ads
Software integrates well with AdSense

15

Company Overview
AdWords How It Works

When someone uses Google Search, an AdWords

ad goes through the auction process which
determines if the ad is displayed and where it is
displayed
Google then displays the ads that have a
sufficiently high Ad Rank determined by:
Bid of advertising party
Ad quality
Expected impact of ad on extensions of web
browser
Extremely open and available to any advertising
party
Cost-per-click model is very friendly to
businesses of all sizes to advertise
SMBs can have higher Ad Ranks than large
corporations if they have more relevant ads
with better keywords and also ads with better
quality
16

Company Overview
Advertising Why Its Here To Stay Part 2

Threat of margin erosion is very long term

market is overreacting
Q/Q decline for CPC in Q3:2014 was
2% - analysts expected 2.5%
Q/Q change in revenue for Q3:2014
was 20.1%
Assumption of annual revenue growth
on model is 12% for 2014 and declines
1% for every year after that until 3%
Googles update to AdWords last year allows
advertisers to buy sponsored results across
PCs, smartphones, and tablets
Shift to mobile ads further contributed
to historical declines in CPC but
transition into mobile has settled
No reason for historic decreases
to CPC to resurface
Google has a lot of power over advertising
parties

Company Overview
Case Study: Rap Genius

Yooo waddup! Here is how it works: If you have a dope post that you would like us tweet outget you MASSIVE traffic- then put this html (below) at the bottom of your post and send me
the URL along with the EXACT text you want tweeted. I will send that sh*t out and it will
bloooowwwww up!
What happened in English:
Rap Genius promoted users to tweet posts of links of a new Justin Bieber album to drive
up web traffic for its website
Plan backfired when Google founded out about it and pushed Rap Genius behind other
websites as punishment daily views dropped from 1.37 million to 0.49 million
Rap Genius comes crawling back to Google
Moral of the story:
Google has immense power because its search engine has a huge audience
SEO is another type of advertising in and of itself
Not everyone can be on the first page of Googles results
For everyone else, theres AdWords

Company Overview
Risks to Googles Online Advertising

Threat of competitors such as Microsofts Bing doing potential harm to Google by stealing
traffic away from Googles search engine
No Facebook (Google+ is not a successfully endeavor)
