The name Google was born because of "accident". The history of Google comes from a project done by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1996. Both graduate students at Stanford University collaborated on developing a search engine called BackRub that operated using servers on their campus. In 1997 Larry and Sergey changed the name BackRub to Googol. "Googol" is the mathematical term for number 1 followed by 100 zeros. This name is taken to describe Google's mission as a warehouse of unlimited information on the internet. However, the investor appears to be misspelled by the Google Googol name, and has written it in the check. It makes Brin and Page finally "stuck" using the Google name for their search engine.
Currently Google is a leading company in the top 100 companies in America, with approximately 10,000 employees.
The investment from Andy became a dilemma. Larry and Sergey are unlikely to provide a check as long as there is no legal institution called Google. Therefore, the two founders of Google's back to work hard to find an investment. They are looking for donors from family, friends, and colleagues to collect about $ 1 million. And finally, the Google company could stand on September 7, 1998 and officially opened in Menlo Park, California
Google's mission is "to gather the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." Google's philosophy includes slogans such as "Do not be evil", and "Work must come and challenge it to please", which describes a relaxed corporate culture.
Google is one of the most popular search engines on the web and receives at least 200 million daily search requests through its clients' websites and websites such as American Online (AOL). Google headquarters are located (at "Googleplex") in Mountain View, California.Google is becoming popular with Internet users because of its simple design and 'clean' and relevant search results. Ads are sold with keywords so that the ads become more relevant to users, and they are required to use text just to keep the page design in order and load pages quickly. The concept of selling keyword-based ads begins with Overture, formerly GoTo.com. At a time when most other dotcom companies go bankrupt, Google quietly reinforces its influence and makes a profit.
