Google Turns Nine Years Old, Where Were You When They Were Born?

Well its hard to believe it but Google turned 9 Years old today. It was back in 1998 when Moscow-born Sergey Brin and American born Larry Page set out to change the world in particular the “search engine world”.

I can remember when Google started as it was only a few weeks or so after my daughter Sasha was born.

It seemed like a very basic interface at the time and one that has not changed much since then with the very clean lines and one search bar. The thing that I always liked about Google from the beginning was that I always seemed to find what I was looking for within the first three pages where the other search engines it was not uncommon to end up 10 pages deep before I had the desired results.

Google has been very good to me over the past 4 years ever since I started my AdWords Consulting business, AdWords Marketing. It has allowed me to make my living from consulting on the AdWords PPC system so thanks to Google for that!

Google has listed on the US Stock Exchange and has mad Multi-Billionaires from its two founders and many Multi-Millionaires from other stock holders and employees of Google.

My family and I were on a holiday to California at the end of 2005 and were also attending the Commission Junction University weekend in Santa Barbara. On our drive down from San Francisco to Santa Barbara we paid a visit to Google Headquarters in Silicon Valley which was great, the Google HQ is very impressive indeed.

So happy birthday to Google, I am sure there will be a large party at the Googleplex!
